Lyrics

    Just a reflection
    Just a glimpse
    Just a little reminder
    Of all the what abouts
    And all the might have
    Could have beens
    Another day
    Some other way
    But not another reason to continue
    And now you’re one of us
    The wretched
    
    The hopes and prays
    The better days
    The far aways
    Forget it
    
    It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
    It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
    It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
    It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
    
    Now you know
    This is what it feels like
    Now you know
    This is what it feels like
    
    The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
    And God Himself will reach His fucking arm through
    Just to push you down
    Just to hold you down
    Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
    And it’s hard to believe it could come down to this
    Back at the beginning
    Sinking
    Spinning
    
    And in the end
    We still pretend
    The time we spend
    Not knowing when
    You’re finally free
    And you could be
    
    But it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
    It didn’t turn out quite the way that you wanted it
    
    Now you know
    This is what it feels like
    Now you know
    This is what it feels like
    
    You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
    You can try to stop it but
