The Undertow

Are we born for nothing if we die alone?
Only God can answer, so where's my telephone?
If someone clipped the wires, you didn't pay that bill
You know God loves a trier and I've got time to kill

Who made that decision for you?
Who made that decision for you?

I told you what you swore too, like you already knew
If I leave here before you, you'll see our baby through
You know I always loved you, I know I'm not around
But I'm only working for you
'Cause you're a cradle to the grave, I'm a slave to sound and

I made that decision for us
I made that decision for us

What's the guilt worth if you do nothing with it?
What's the guilt worth if you choose when you feel it?
What's the guilt worth? Guilt worth?
What's the guilt worth? Guilt worth?
Oh, what's the guilt worth?

If you have known my quiet blood to break the banks of this mighty river
Then all you have really known is love

Who made that decision for you?

We're all bound by our own perspective
Any lows below our own, we'll never truly know
Pain lingers on by its own measure, irrespective
When one man's treasure is another's final blow

But hope yet may still come to those
Daring to dig that deep within themselves
We bare our souls on wax through tender prose
Only to starve them of all-purpose
When our findings hit the shelves

I made that decision for us
I made that decision for us

What's the guilt worth, if you do nothing with it?
What's the guilt worth, if you choose when you feel it?
What's the guilt worth? Guilt worth?
What's the guilt worth? Guilt worth?
Oh, what's the guilt worth?

The guilt's worth nothing
But for the first time in ages
I feel safe in the knowledge
We're all gonna be demolished

We're all bound by our own perspectives
Any lows below our own we'll never truly know
My head above the water
I was young and I was limber
I swear I saw you from the shore
Before I caught the undertow

And I made that decision for us
