Hard Way

Who's gonna quench your thirst now
Who can satiate
Something you can't escape
Who's gonna quench your thirst now
Who can satiate
Something you can't escape

But I'm not OK and I cannot stay
When the trees go bare and sky goes gray
When the medicine's gone and the dog has strayed
When the hurricane hits and there's no barricades
In my bed I lay but I'm wide awake
Staring into the darkness, pain won't fade
And my mind won't rest, what may follow
In this hollow cave
Rise from the dust
I will rise from my grave
Rise from the grave

Who am I to say
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way
Who am I to say
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way
Who am I to say
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way
I'm learning this the hard way

I'm descending down
Crushed up in the ground
Broken kingdoms come
Crashing all around
Palace made of glass
Thought that it might last
So afraid of change
Don't do anything rash

But now I need my sight
More than ever before
And yes you might be right
That I opened up a door
Everyone's right or wrong
Everyone's got an opinion
Well put it in a song
And let me keep on livin'

Who am I to say
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way
Who am I to say
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way
Who am I to say
I know nothing it seems
Until it's way too late
I'm learning this the hard way
Learning this the hard way

You say it's your cage
You're a slave and wouldn't have it any other way
And besides you built it up that way
Who's gonna make you happy
When you're your own worst enemy
Who's gonna make you happy
