The Sum

If you could roll it I would smoke it

If it smiled at me I'd hold it

Drown every memory worth remembering

I took everything too far

Doing everything I wanted

Left me feeling haunted

But what you learn to leave behind is the sum of who we are

No good deed goes unpunished

No turn left unstoned

I won't let the winters leave me bitter and alone

If we try to act like Jesus

And end up on the cross

Remember we can rise again no matter what we lost

You need the dark to see the stars

Mmm, that's the sum of who we are

As I traveled on so blindly

Hit a wall inside of me

Found my healing through the windshield

Breaking every selfish bone

I came out of this molting

With what matters now unfolding

The sum of breaking and the healing, is the only way to grow

No good deed goes unpunished

And no turn left unstoned

I won't let the winters leave me bitter and alone

If we try to act like Jesus

And end up on the cross

Remember we can rise again no matter what we lost

You need the dark to see the stars

Mmm, that's the sum of who we are

That's the sum, that's the sum, that's the sum, that's the sum

That's the sum, that's the sum, that's the sum, that's the sum

That's the sum, that's the sum of who we are

No good deed goes unpunished

And no turn left unstoned

I won't let the winters leave me bitter and alone

If we try to act like Jesus

And end up on the cross

Remember we can rise again no matter what we lost

You need the dark to see the stars

Mmm, that's the sum of who we are
