We were young, out of touch
Back when it was different, growing up
We're the ones that would run
When it's said and done, yeah, it was us
We were free you and me
It's all we ever needed to believe
Piece by piece, breaking me
They told us how we should be, and we agreed
[Chorus]
Hey, brother how you living?
Night after night in your own prison
There's nothing truer that's ever been said
When you live on hope alone
Don't go holding your breath
You and I will survive
But ask me if I knew I'd pay the price
Hanging on by a thread
The voices in my head stop making sense
On the edge once again
Living in the moment 'til the end
Every night of our lives
I wonder if it'd been right the whole damn time
[Chorus]
Can you say you found the voice that's deep inside?
Drank along as they came in, made up our minds
Can you say that they have been right all this time every time?
Feels like forever since we built our cages of empty phrases
Hey, brother how you living?
Night after night in your own prison
There's nothing truer that's ever been said
Take a look at yourself, try to save what's left
