“You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you can never close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”
– Johnny Depp
[Verse 1]
When was the last time you went out of your way?
To go out and risk all, though your head said to stay
Is any of this real? Is it all just a plain bad dream?
The weight of the world
Is pulling you down, no one’s throwing you a life line
As you keep on sinking below
[Bridge]
You’ve tied that rope to your ankle
With that cinder block you found next to you
Standing on the edge of the lake
Ready to jump
[Chorus]
What if it all changes now? Oh man would you still go forth?
What if you held your ground? Able to stop the pain right now
And feel again, calm down, and take a breath
Remember the pain, scaring you to death
And let it drown (x2)
[Verse 2]
In a flash of light that lasted for a sec
Although the things you saw felt like a hundred years
Does the pain conquer those laughs and smiles?
An action causing at least one to cry
Breaking their heart, in a way you can’t compare
[Chorus]
What if it all changes now? Oh man would you still go forth?
What if you held your ground? Able to stop the pain right now
And feel again, calm down, and take a breath
Remember the pain, scaring you to death
And let it drown (x2)
[Bridge]
You’ve tied that rope to your ankle
With that cinder block you found next to you
Standing on the edge of the lake
Ready to jump
[Chorus]
What if it all changes now? Oh man would you still go forth?
What if you held your ground? Able to stop the pain right now
And feel again, calm down, and take a breath
Remember the pain, scaring you to death
And let it drown (x2)
