"For What It's Worth" lyrics

Sound the alarm
Let's all run for cover
A million mistakes
We've put on each other
There's so much at stake
Sisters and brothers
It's been tearing apart
Our love for one another

I can't comprehend
The truth of the matter
How can we stand
So deep undercover
Until we command
Our thoughts behind shutters
Closed doors and silenced sounds are pouring out

Forging on these cards we're dealt
Forging on before there's nothing else

I know you hurt (I know you hurt)
I've seen the wreckage burn (the wreckage burn)
I know you hurt
Like a freight train screaming through your head
These fickle phrases leave us cursed

Discontent
This viscous encounter
To make a mends
How do we recover
I don't want to speculate
I'd rather discover
What's been done is done
Still I sit here and wonder

Where have we been?
Lost in the madness
That's how it begins
Hardships and sadness
We try to defend
Emotional baggage
Well here we go again

Forging on these cards we're dealt
Forging on before there's nothing else

I know you hurt (I know you hurt)
I've seen the wreckage burn (the wreckage burn)
I know you hurt
Like a freight train screaming through your head
These fickle phrases leave us cursed

Value where you are
Value every single scar
Maybe there will come a day
Where fear and hatred fade away
Value where you are
Value every painful scar
Maybe there will come a day
Where arrogance will fade away

I know I'll never know what's going on inside your world
And I've seen the tables turn
So many times I've tried to bring myself to realize
I know you hurt
For what it's worth
