Dedicated to Ryan Carter Poston, may you rest in heavenly peace my friend.
lyrics
What's the gain in still standing
If later is gone?
Who is to blame for withstanding
and moving on?
Anguished and strained we can't control what's happening
all this feels wrong
And if all's been arranged and this was God's commanding
can we respond?
(Are we restricted from the)
rules of the game and the larger plans?
Are we just pawns?
(So tell me)
what's the gain of still standing if
later is gone for you
(Aled guitar solos)
Staring at walls
throughout a tuesday
Racing the stars - wanna swerve
towards a tree
Forcing each step
in a new way
Finding your own thoughts
Your enemies
What's the gain in still standing
If later is gone
And who is to blame for withstanding
and moving on?
