Crooked Path Polaris

When we were young and indifferent
We could not have known
This world will chew you up and spit you out on your own (believe me)
I know it hurts, it hurts me
To just to watch you sinking
I can't help thinking

Was there something holding you back?
What's the weight of the world on your back?
So long, you're sick of the gravity?
Is there someone telling you no?
Do you wander with nowhere to go?
What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for?

I'm reaching out please take my hand
The water is getting higher and I can't understand
Why I can't pull you in
Do you even care, do you even want me there?

We are the victims
Just like our parents taught us to be
Roots planted firmly but we fell so far from the tree
And still we cling to the past with an iron grip
As we all fall fast asleep
Dreaming of security
The chance to redefine
The years we wasted living on borrowed time
