City and Colour - Song of Unrest

Have I lost my touch?
I wanna feel less fear
Where is the stirring of hope?
Once I held so near

This mournful wail
Has worn away so thin
Life is long if you're living it
But dread will blow in like the wind

How can I explain?
So that you will understand
How foolish it must be
To opine so openly (so openly)
Such a delicate life
So full of tragedy (ooh, ooh)
Why do we continue to treat
Each other so savagely?
Ooh

Pills don't seem to work
We're lost at the bottom of the sea
Our bones are searchin' for something else
Tired of the flesh that they see

I never thought
That I'd grow up to be
Another face in the crowd
On the wrong side of history (history)
(Oh, I'm sorry, history)

How can I explain
So that you will understand?
How foolish it must be
To opine so openly (so openly)
Such a delicate life
So full of tragedy (tragedy)
Why do we continue to treat
Each other so savagely?

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
