The Hurry and The Harm Lyrics

Everyone wants everything no matter the cost, we're longing to live in a dream
But we can't let go to all that we think we know
This great escape until we give up the ghost

But why are we so worried more about the hurry and less about the harm?
Always trying to conquer that which does not offer
Anything more than a broken heart
Oh what a cost for love


Only want oh simple things, mourning the loss and what could have been
When did I let go to all that I use to know this grave mistake
Has left an absence of hope

But why are we so worried more about the hurry and less about the harm?
Always trying to conquer that which does not offer
Anything more than a broken heart

Oh what a cost for love
Oh what a cost for love
Oh what a cost for love
Oh what a cost for love


I'm going back to the start
