Thought it would be over by now The endless raising of a hand to get ahead of the crowd Wishing on a star to keep us firmly on the ground I thought it would be over by now Thought I'd stop being this hard On every little moment where I think I went too far Believing I'm unworthy as I reset the bar I thought I'd stop being this hard I think I am missing something Why if we are so enlightened Do we still find it so damn frightening To admit This is it Thought I had a story to tell Understand my time in the deepest depths of hell Every sleepless night a blessing I can sell I thought I had a story to tell Thought I had a message to relay Trust that all things missing will surely find their way Give honesty a chance & don't expect them to stay I thought I had a message to relay Well I think I am missing something Why if we are so enlightened Do we still find it so damn frightening To admit That this is it When did I start losing the feeling That filling my heart was all my own doing Coming apart as I watch them leaving Oh what I would give to be all that I need And why did I start believing in heaven? Telling myself that it's not for the living Trying to get somewhere when I don't even Know where I am right now Oh I think I am missing something Why if we are so enlightened Do we still find it so damn frightening To admit This is it
