lyrics

There’s no such thing as running
But there’s a whole lot of denying it’s there
And you may not be forthcoming
But keeping quiet doesn’t make it easy to bare

‘Cause the burden that you’re holding’s getting mighty heavy
And the longer that you carry it the more it’ll weigh
And for what?
For whom?
And how long?
‘Cause the next thing coming happens every day
And this old racehorse is breaking every leg
And for what?
For whom?
And how long?

There’s no such thing as closure
And waiting for it sets you on an imminent fate
And it won’t ever be over
If you expect to stumble on a definite day

Now think back to all the people, all the power you gave
Just ‘cause they did something bad enough to go on a page
And for what?
For whom?
And how long?
Is there something weighing on your hand clenching the hold
Or are you the one in the way of just letting go
And for what?
For whom?
And how long?

How long?

Well the next thing coming happens every day
And this old racehorse is breaking every leg
And for what?
For whom?
And how long?
Is there something weighing on your hand clenching the hold
Or are you the one in the way of just letting go?
And for what?
For whom?
And how long?

How long?
