Against the Wall

Its always going to be this way
somethings will never change
the choices that we make
and the decision that weve made
too old to be naive too young to know anything
and this burden is ours we'll be held accountable
for everyone of these days
our actions could build monuments to what we achieve
but these days they bring nothing nothing but rain
and everything we built gets washed away
but all the promise we have is still here
sitting there blank stare swallow the knot in your throat
and I hope we can stop our selfish ways
standing here clenched fist spitting words for you to hear
and its only one question that I have to ask
have you beaten the path or has the path beaten you
searching for something real the joy and the sadness
the truth for as ugly as it appears like the feelings
you got when you lost someone you loved was it too much
and when the skies clear out their words meant nothing
when the storm is over is anyone here
I gotta belive I gotta believe theres something
than whats been given but its up to us to find it
get it through your head
I dont care how hard you swing that hammer
sometimes it wont make a dent!
