"Onward" lyrics

"Onward"

What if I had known
What if I had known
That all the boards beneath the bath
Were rotting all along?

Drying up the well
Ringing out the bell
And when it's time to meet the end
We'll always have ourselves
Or else

Telling us we're bad
Telling us we're bad
You always had me covered
Well, you're all I ever had

We're all dying
We're all the kindest and the meanest
And the brightest and the deepest dark

Is this what they say?
What am I, insane?
And where are all these feelings from
That I can't seem to tame?

What am I to do?
What am I to do?
Standing in the doorway
Well, I'll never make it through

We're all dying
We're all the kindest and the meanest
And the brightest and the deepest dark
The kindest and the meanest
And the brightest and the deepest dark

Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward

I can feel the light
Lighter by your your side
'Cause you take the lows
Lower than you go
I can feel the light
Lighter by your your side
'Cause you take the lows
Lower than you go
