[Lyric] Keep It Together (Jeremy Swanton, Kyle Reid Hass)

[Karen]
Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't give up trying
Abandon everything I carefully contrive
There is a part of me I must admit
That thinks the rest of me is full of shit
And wonders if I'm still alive

You only wish you could know
What you'd've chosen to do
I've they'd've left it to you to find your way
Before you know what you need
You have to make up your mind
Or they will leave you behind
And then you'll pay

There is a secret we've kept
Beneath the surface for yеars
The thing that everyonе fears right from the start

[Benjamin]
Cause there are moments you feel
Like letting go of the things we keep from falling apart
[All]
But since we know the cost we're gonna keep it together
There's far too much at stake to let it slip away now
We've seen the most we can do
We know how little is true
But somehow we'll pull through
We're gonna keep it together

[Karen]
But I couldn't tell you how

[Haley]
Imagine reeling from another close encounter
You get the feeling that you've prob'ly gone to far

[Jean]
When you were young the choice was ready made
But now the heat is on, youre so afraid

[Haley, Jean]
And now you don't know who you are

[All]
And so it's back to the world
Of social studies and math
Where all the others have pathways made for them
[Karen]
And when you try to look back
All you can see is a blur
You're left unsure what to worship or condemn

[Benjamin]
Will I forget who I am?
Are my ambitions too small?
And have I thought of it all?
Am I alone?

[Student]
What's wrong with being a fraud?
And if there's something I've missed

[All]
Why can't you throw me a bone?

[Haley]
Made me think they know the way my story ends and
Made me think my time is through
But I'm worth more than they can possibly imagine
And soon they'll see what I can do

[All]
You only wish you could know
What you'd've chosen to do
If they'd've left it to you
To find your way
Before we know what we need
We have to make up our mind
Or else we're going to pay
But since we know the cost we're gonna keep it together
[Woah]
There's far to much at stake to let it slip away now
[Now]
We've seen the most we can do
We know how little is true
But somehow we'll pull through
We're gonna keep it together
