How We Began

Can’t seem to shake it
No matter how far we run
The past is much faster
And can’t be undone

The foundation is poured 
A bridge between years
Days, weeks and months
A river raging with fears

Turns on this journey
May lead to dead ends
Or ends that are met
By companions and friends

Try as we might
And try again and again
We often lose sight
Of where and how we began

How we got here today
Where we live, love and sin
Remember how it began
Think back
Again and again

All the times we have fought
Battle dreams and dark thoughts
Lies and truths we convene
Whispers, secrets and screams

Our ears are still ringing
The words keep on stinging
We have no solution to
The problems life's bringing

The fists we are shaking 
Confidence we are faking
There's no doubt we’ll miss
All the shots we’re not taking

Turns on this journey
May lead to dead ends
Or ends that are met
By companions and friends

Try as we might
And try again and again
We often lose sight
Of where and how we began

How we got here today
Where we live, love and sin
Remember how it began
Think back 
Again and again
