The Sum

If you could roll it I would smoke it
If it smiled at me I'd hold it
Drown every memory worth remembering
I took everything too far
Doing everything I wanted
Left me feeling haunted
But what you learn to leave behind is the sum of who we are

No good deed goes unpunished
No turn left unstoned
I won't let the winters leave me bitter and alone
If we try to act like Jesus
And end up on the cross
Remember we can rise again no matter what we lost
You need the dark to see the stars
Mmm, that's the sum of who we are

As I traveled on so blindly
Hit a wall inside of me
Found my healing through the windshield
Breaking every selfish bone
I came out of this molting
With what matters now unfolding
The sum of breaking and the healing, is the only way to grow

No good deed goes unpunished
And no turn left unstoned
I won't let the winters leave me bitter and alone
If we try to act like Jesus
And end up on the cross
Remember we can rise again no matter what we lost
You need the dark to see the stars
Mmm, that's the sum of who we are

That's the sum, that's the sum, that's the sum, that's the sum
That's the sum, that's the sum, that's the sum, that's the sum
That's the sum, that's the sum of who we are

No good deed goes unpunished
And no turn left unstoned
I won't let the winters leave me bitter and alone
If we try to act like Jesus
And end up on the cross
Remember we can rise again no matter what we lost
You need the dark to see the stars
Mmm, that's the sum of who we are
