Trenches Lyrics
So much will go untold
From these travels of the road
The truth remains at rest in jars
Within the souls of all the lost and transient forgotten men
There is so much that lies behind those smiling faces
And what's within would take a lifetime to tell
So be careful what you wish for
Take my hand and see
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
They kiss them all goodbye
There's no place they can ever call home again
Reflections in their minds
When they come back they won't appreciate the life they left behind
People grow apart and move away
And it's a part of getting older, so they say
They hit the gas and they swear that they live by rock and roll
And say they're unable to let go
It's the fear or the ego
Take my hand and see
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
Take my hand and see
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
Like soldiers marching into the front lines
Is it something that you'll come to regret
Blinded by the shining in their eyes
Is it something that you'll come to regret
This is your life
Keep rolling the dice
Take my hand and see
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
Take my hand and see
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
From these travels of the road
The truth remains at rest in jars
Within the souls of all the lost and transient forgotten men
There is so much that lies behind those smiling faces
And what's within would take a lifetime to tell
So be careful what you wish for
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
There's no place they can ever call home again
Reflections in their minds
When they come back they won't appreciate the life they left behind
People grow apart and move away
And it's a part of getting older, so they say
They hit the gas and they swear that they live by rock and roll
And say they're unable to let go
It's the fear or the ego
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
Take my hand and see
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
Is it something that you'll come to regret
Blinded by the shining in their eyes
Is it something that you'll come to regret
This is your life
Keep rolling the dice
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
Take my hand and see
You're falling in love with the skyline
Nothing comes for free
Can you put a price on feeling satisfied
Matt: "This song is about the promise that the touring lifestyle seems to offer. To an outsider or starry-eyed kid embarking on his first tour, it may seem to be a very glamorous life, but it's one that you can only truly understand once you've lived it. I drew parallels between war veterans and weathered road warriors because it seemed like an easy way to describe something that is often falsely represented to be more exciting, more lucrative, less consequential, or less dangerous than it actually is."
