What If?

written by Scott Stapp & Mark Tremonti

I can't find no rythme in all my reason,
Lost sense of time and all season,
Feel I've been beaten down,
By the words of Men who have no ground.

I can't sleep beneath the Trees of Wisdom,
When your axes cut but would you feed them,
Forked tongues and bitter mouths,
Can drive a Man to bleed from inside out.

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I amend?
What if eye for an eye?

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine,
Destroy a man who lacks a strong mind,
Human Pride sings a vengeful song,
Inspired by the times we've been walked on.

My stage is set by many millions,
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this,
We are one!
We are strong!
The more you hold us down,
The more we press on.

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I know I can hold my head inside my mind,
What consumes your thoughts,
Controls your life?
So I'll just ask a question,
A lonely simple question,
I'll just ask one question:

What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if I?

What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if I?

What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if I?

What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if I?

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I amend?
What if eye for an eye?
What if your world,
Could be judged like a crime?

What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if I?

What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if I?

What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if I?

What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if I?
