The Severed Branch


 
There's only so much you and I could take
Leaving on time to decide ones fate
If you’ve made a plan then hurrah I know it’s great
There’s only so much you and I can take
Before we break
Before we break

There’s only one song that matters where we stand
Yesterday’s gone, but tomorrow is where we could land
If you show up empty handed then hurrah I know you tried
There’s only one way out, that’s to leave with your pride

The severed branch is the quiet before the dream
The severed branch is the panic before the extreme
I’ve told this story so many times
I know you’ve heard this before between the truth and the lies
The severed branch is our future in disguise

There’s only so much you and I could take
Playing the odds and testing what we could shake
If your plans fall though, don’t worry, this is not goodbye
There are too many reasons to not to try

The severed branch is the quiet before the dream
The severed branch is the panic before the extreme
I’ve told this story so many times
I know you’ve heard this before between the truth and the lies
The severed branch is our future in disguise
