[Verse 1]
I am sick. I am not doing well
Iʼm writing home, because I your need help
Livinʼ the dream ainʼt so dreamy, darlinʼ
Livinʼ the dream ainʼt me
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I canʼt kill this animal between my ears
And I canʼt stop feeding it what Iʼve fed it for years
[Chorus]
Can you restore whatʼs been taken?
Can you restore whatʼs been given away?
[Verse 2]
What good is freedom if my heartʼs a slave to sin?
My allegiance lies with me
Oh, my pride is overwhelming
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands ready, my body poised, for malevolence
I canʼt keep fighting it, I canʼt swing through the tears
[Chorus]
Can you restore whatʼs been taken?
Can you restore whatʼs been given away?
[Bridge]
Iʼd like a little of your blood but thatʼs all
Just enough forgiveness to keep on being careless
Am I more than the sum of the things I have and havenʼt done?
Am I more than the sum of the things I have and havenʼt done?
Am I more than the sum of the things I have and havenʼt done?
Am I more than the sum of the things I have and havenʼt done?
How do we undo whatʼs already been done?
With nothing to stand on, we fall
Weʼve been falling before we first stood up
[Chorus]
Can you restore whatʼs been taken?
Can you restore whatʼs been taken?
Can you restore whatʼs been taken?
Can you restore whatʼs been given away?
Am I more than the sum of the things I have and havenʼt done?
