Everest

(music: arcwelder lyrics: s.macdonald)
You are floating awash in your sea. where does that leave me?
You slashed me and when you slashed it altered the past.
I'm post trauma sorting the shards of my scattered cards
You left me one more judgment day for my resume.

[chorus]
We're never the same
We both share the blame
So why did i ask you?
'cause now that i've asked you i'd have to say
That love won't find a way

You were thinking of running away from the first day
You were hinting but i couldn't see meant too much to me
I'm obsessing turn off the brain and lock out the pain
I'm struggling trying to get back what my ego lacks

[chorus]

So why did i ask you what i didn't want to know
Thrashing and sinking in your ego's undertow

You are floating awash in your sea where does that leave me
Bruised and battered alone and afraid mistakes have been made
What an honor when you ran to him he took off again
In the long run so i was betrayed but all wounds will fade

[chorus]

(music: r. graber/s.macdonald lyrics: s.macdonald)
Can i get a witness
To your constant pain
Hear you're spinning downwards
Thought you were the same
Take some pride in who you are
Stop the tide of self defeat
Can i get a witness
Not someone to blame

Throwing rocks at glass houses shatters everything
Is there anyone i know who hasn't done the same?
But it's all their fault and you didn't do nothin' did you now?
And it's all their fault and you didn't do nothin' did you now?

Can i get a witness
Where's your sense of pride
I know you used to have one
It's been pushed aside
Think about responsibility
You don't have to be the victim
Can i get a witness
Not just one more ride

And you want to play all aces, all you have's a duce
You're the last one at the table anyway
And we all make mistakes but we all learn from them and move on
And we all make mistakes but we all learn from them and move on

Can i get a witness
Is there one at all
What's the best for yourselves
Is what you both recall
Drop it now and move along
Everyone has forgotten it
Can i get a witness
To your free fall

Cause i worry that this story's just the iceberg's tip
It gets so hard to know just what i believe
But it's all about trust and you know i trust you i do now
And it's all about trust and you know i trust you i do now

Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?

(music: arcwelder lyrics: s.macdonald)
Try to do a favor it catches up later when i don't give a mile
Write a little note murder's all you wrote why don't you put me on trial

Ok i know that i am wrong

Really like to walk the talk that i talk but you make it so hard
Didn't want to hurt you selfish not a virtue i played the wrong card

Ok i know that i am wrong

[chorus]
But it's not my fault
If your treasured island
Won't open up
To be filled with your love

Guess that i will punt after your little stunt drove me away
Odds are getting thin i lose and you win that's what you want me to say

Ok i know that i am wrong

Rather be a help not your little whelp not a curse but a friend
End of my rope i can only hope things work out in the end

Ok i know that i am wrong

[chorus]

(scott's part - there is a completely unrelated bill's part as well)
The thing that gets me down
On the second time around
Is i left but now
I'm back in the same place
Shoot an arrow through my heart
Tie an anchor to my cart 'til
I've lost my sense of self to self-efface
The business end's grown cold
Cause you're not allowed to be old
And i'm rooting for a horse that never pays
And i take it out on me
Repeat my history
And waste the time that no one can replace
My subjects stay the same love and work and fame
You could set your clock to follow my retrace
So here i am again
Unhappy where i am
But too afraid to stare me in the face
