COMFORT & CHAOS - The Word Alive

I’ll try to explain this

You’ll understand if you’re chasing greatness

The heartache, the mistakes

Are a part of what it takes to make it

I know you wanna play the part

No giving up when it gets hard

And so I’ll be the one to show you

That pain defines you

The pain defines you

The river’s flowing over me

I feel the current underneath

So why do I feel safe

When there’s no escaping?

Your silence is deafening

When help is all I need

Why do I feel safe?

'Cause it’s the only way

You want it, I’ve got it

Even though they tried to leave me heartless

Misguided, it’s said that

You found yourself alone inside the darkness

It’s hard to leave the ones you love

But it’s a part of growing up

And so I’ll be the one to show you

That pain defines you

The pain defines you

The river’s flowing over me

I feel the current underneath

So why do I feel safe

When there’s no escaping?

Your silence is deafening

When help is all I need

Why do I feel safe?

'Cause it’s the only way

I wanted to be someone who’d never let you down (let you down)

But it’s better to try and fail than never try at all

The river’s flowing over me

I feel the current underneath

So why do I feel safe

When there’s no escaping?

The river’s flowing over me

I feel the current underneath

So why do I feel safe

When there’s no escaping?

Your silence is deafening

When help is all I need

Why do I feel safe?

'Cause it’s the only way

'Cause it’s the only way (it's the only way)

It’s the only way

When there’s no escaping
