Crooked Path - Polaris

Written by：Ryan Siew/Daniel Furnari/Jamie Hails/Rick Schneider/Jake Steinhauser

When we were young and indifferent

We could not have known

This world will chew you up and spit you out on your own

I know it hurts it hurts me

To just to watch you sinking

I can't help thinking

What's 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 feel 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

My will is spent I used the very last drop

Trying to keep my head on straight enough

I know it hurts it hurts to feel it all slip right past you

I just want to ask you

Was there something holding you back

Have you had to cover your tracks

So long you lost your identity

Is there something dragging you down

Crippled under the weight of the crown

What are you waiting oh what are you waiting for

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

For all of our differences

I always said I'd be there if you should come undone

It took all I had in me

Do you even care do you even want me there

There are ghosts in every window

And they'll follow you back home

But if you stay a moment

I can tell you all I know

Of how these times have changed us

How they bring us to our knees

How they send us down the crooked path

Divide us temporarily

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

I swear I'm sorry I swear I'll do better

I never thought we'd have to carry this weight together

This is contagion a plague that I bear

And it kills me to say that I really need you here
