[Part I]

[Verse 1]
He only hit her, only hit her with an open hand
He thought, he thought, he thought that made him
Some kind, some kind of a gentleman
I do my best, do my best just to understand
How it could ever be okay again

[Verse 2]
I crack the door, crack the door, try to listen in
But then, but then, a break in the bedlam
He glares right back as I stare at him
I held my breath, held my breath as I dare contest
Pushing down the thunder pounding in my chest

[Chorus]
Oh, I guess that it could've been worse than this
But I haven’t met a human yet who is living with no regrets
More or less, though I'm sure that it can't be fixed
Is this all? All there is?

[Verse 3]
Sometimes my mind, sometimes gets the best of me
What good to the devil, what good is a nightmare
When waking life is a bigger fear?
Wake up, wake up, wake up to catastrophe
Go on and pan the smoke and find some clarity
[Chorus]
Oh, I guess that it could’ve been worse than this
But I haven't met a human yet who is living with no regrets
More or less, though I'm sure that it can't be fixed
Is this all? All there is?
Is this all? All there is?

[Interlude]
The evil that men do
Lives after them
The good is oft interred
With their bones
If you have tears
Prepare to shed them now
Now you weep
These are gracious drops

[Part II]
After all, this is who we are
Made of dirt and fed by stars
In the blink of an eye we'll be undermined
When they bury our grains in the sands of time

After all, this is who we are
Made of dirt and fed by stars
In the blink of an eye we'll be undermined
When they bury our grains in the sands of time
When they bury our grains in the sands of time
When they bury our grains in the sands of time
[Outro]
And bid them speak for me: but were I Brutus
And Brutus Antony, there were an Antony
Would ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue
In every wound of Caesar that should move
The stones of Rome-
