I've been working longer hoursnWatching money streaming innI've been trusting crooks and liarsnLike I don't have any friendsnI've been finding myself prayingnWhen I'm deepest in the sinnI've been reinventing happiness againnnIt's been painful resolutionnSet to jubilant applausenIt's soaring highs and crushing lowsnAnd grinding in the jawnIt's been begging for forgivenessnAfter laying down the lawnIt's been like surgery to get through all the flawsnnWill this overture seem dull to all my friends?nWill you love me if I leave you here again?nWhen the spell breaks we'll be back to work, what then?nnThere's a faith that could tear this whole thing apartnSo pour the drinks and we'll cause the dancing to startnThere are lies that could tear this whole thing apartnAnd there are songs that will beg to keep your heartnnI've been standing at a crossroadsnFor what seems like many daysnIf I go will the house fall down?nWill I burn it if I stay?nWill I be fighting like a cowardnOr running like a brave?nWill I be laughing like a madman either way?
