"My Greater Cause" lyrics

As I ran down the street
All the faces appeared to me one by one
By the fifth I took a sudden turn
The melting snow revealed the bodies buried long ago
All the violence a man can take
The broken bones and broken homes beneath my feet

On the dark side we'll meet again
And cook it up for one more dance

It's who we are
But I swear it'll be my last

And if I go, I go alone
In the eyes of the elephant nothing's too big
And no one proves you wrong
But the kind they had to offer didn't do me good
It barely cracked the softer shell

On the dark side we'll meet again
And cook it up for one more dance

It's who we are
But I swear it'll be my last
And if I go, I go alone

Yes, I've failed and I can't go back
I'm wasted beyond my years and I've agreed to let it go
Yes, I swear it'll be my last
And if I go, I go alone
But I've failed and I can't go back
I'm wasted beyond my years and I've agreed to let it go

All that I wanted was to slip away for a little while
'Cause I felt alone and I couldn't keep up with the world
All that I wanted was to slip away for a little while
'Cause I felt alone and I couldn't keep up with the world
