The pain, disorder
A cataclysmic dawn We trusted but something has gone wrong We bought it But woke to find it gone Impact in 5, 4, 3, 2 Brace, for fallout The radiation creeps On cats' feet We scatter in the streets She asks me "do you think it's safe to breathe?" It doesn't look that way to me We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates, Raise the flags) Woah.... (Seize the throne, Subjugate) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough Afraid, we cower To interests not our own The power to free or to control We let it slip through Our fingers to the floor Watch as the bodies wash ashore Whoah... Nobody lives here anymore We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates, Raise the flags) Woah.... (Seize the throne, Subjugate) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall? And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? How long, how...? We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates, Raise the flags) Woah.... (Seize the throne, Subjugate) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough |

Are there no fighters left here any more?
Are we the generation we've been waiting for? Or are we patiently burning Waiting to be saved? Our heroes our icons Have mellowed with age Following rules That they once disobeyed Are now being led When they used to lead the way Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? (That you stood by before) Are you up and on the front lines? Or at home keeping score? Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? (The bricks that seal your fate) Would you rather be the architect of what we might create? GO! Laying out the blueprints That pour down a base Concrete solutions to slow our decay But when they are gone, who the fuck's gonna take their place? Yeah, will it be the cynic The critics galore You say "how pathetic", passed out on the floor The trustee can visit Who collectively ignored Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? (That you stood by before) Are you up and on the front lines? Or at home keeping score? Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? (The bricks that seal your fate) Would you rather be the architect of what we might create? Don't you remember when you were young? And you wanted to set the world on fire? Somewhere deep down, I know you don't (HEY HEY HEY HEY) And all you remember when we were young How we wanted to set the world on fire Because I still am and I still do Make no mistake we are not afraid To bear the burden of repeating What they're thinking anyway LET'S RAISE THE STAKES On the bet we made Let's decide to be the architects, the masters of our fate Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before (We stood by before) And now to everything we've seen here maybe even more And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first (We were not the first) Unapologetically we'll stand behind these words. |

Hey, man now did you hear
Your final days are near? In a free fall of fire and ice And explosions in the sky A fate that we deserve There's no escape, No Now it's your turn Now it's your turn It's been years Since our luck ran out and left us here Like broken mirrors Ten million shards of glass and tears But now we are Awake enough to shatter what we hate Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face Hey, hey! Hey, man, you got the time? Hey, can I trouble you for a light? Who, me? no, I'm not the old town crier I'm the one who sets it all on fire A fate, yeah, that we deserve And there's no escape, No Now it's your turn Now it's your turn It's been years Since our luck ran out and left us here Like broken mirrors Ten million shards of glass and tears But now we are Awake enough to shatter what we hate Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face We hide from the mirrors They might show our scars And hear us (Go Go Go) Reflection that we want to be The people we are (the people we are) Confront your reflection Smash what you see And let's restart Cause mirrors can't see our heart It's been years Since our luck ran out and left us here Like broken mirrors Ten million shards of glass and tears But now we are Awake enough to shatter what we hate Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face |

Awake at the bottom
Of the barrels we cry out So ashamed of our tears that We blame only ourselves That's when they win They keep us convinced To lift up our chins These playing fields are level We all have a chance With that they dismiss The fast lanes they rode In which access depends on who you know Or where you came from Whose daughter are you? Whose fortunate son? We're told to stick out our thumbs They feast from the linens While we settle for crumbs Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? (a just reparation) Away from the towers High above glass ceilinged tombs Tell themselves That they've earned this By working hard And playing by the rules But this is only part true A dangerous trick Played on me and you And so like a practical joke We pulled on these bootstraps So hard that they broke Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? And like a single domino That falls while the rest stay vertical We're fed these empty fairytales Will you believe them? And if there's a god You better pray That this sleeping giant never wakes And if we just took a step back A bigger picture we might view Perhaps the man in the gutter Is not so different from you Come in out of the cold Forget all that you know Because there's always been room By the fire for you, oh Come in out of the cold Will you believe them? Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? And like a single domino That falls while the rest stay vertical We're fed these empty fairytales And I'm through believing |

And on that day they'll tell you
That life hummed on with no clue The warning signs were all Dismissed or shouted down So it goes The kings all failed to tell us The madmen failed to sell us On what would then befall The only life we know? Were they burning signal fires To guide us to the fields? Or building funeral pyres? The outcome of a final appeal The city lines are down The Kerosene's run out The fracturing of all we relied upon Let's shed this unclean skin And start to feel again Cause all the shoulders On which to cry are gone The paranoia gripped us The rain turned engines to rust The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts Spreading through We bet on finite genius Or prayed for gods to save us But there was no antidote Disease tore us apart We left bodies in the fields So numb that we forgot how to feel The city lines are down The Kerosene's run out The fracturing of all we relied upon Let's shed this unclean skin And start to feel again Cause all the shoulders On which to cry are gone He looked at the fields And then his hands "All I need is what I have" Then fell a tear of happiness She watched the world Crumble away "Is this the end of yesterday?" "Lord, I hope so", is all he said Gone are the old guards Gone are the cold, cold wars Weightless we go forth On wings of amnesty All we relied on now The city lines are down The Kerosene's run out The fracturing of all we replied upon Let's shed this unclean skin And start to feel again With no more shoulders Shoulders to cry on now No more No more The weight that we once felt is gone |

I have my mother's dreams i have my father's eyes you can't take that from me just go ahead and try
The crescent city sleeps while giants in the sky preparing to unleash let loose a mighty cry Can nobody save us will anyone try the bayou is burning The cypress has died and all along they're saying "HELP IS ON THE WAY", THEY SAID THEY SAID, "HELP IS ON THE WAY", THEY SAID THEY SAID ONE BY LAND TWO BY SEA RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME HELP IS ON THE WAY Five thousand feet below as black smoke engulfs the sky the ocean floor explodes eleven mothers cry My bones all resonate a burning lullaby you can't take that from me just go ahead and try She stands at the shoreline with hands in the air her words pierce the dark night "does anyone care?" AND ALL ALONG THEY'RE SAYING "HELP IS ON THE WAY", THEY SAID THEY SAID, "HELP IS ON THE WAY", THEY SAID THEY SAID ONE BY LAND TWO BY SEA RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME HELP IS ON THE WAY Right here,right here - 3x Choking on the black gold upon which we rely we keep axes in the attics to see cameras in the sky Help is on the way they said help is on the way we were told just to sit tight because somebody will soon arrive help is on the way but it never came. |

Bang bang go the coffin nails
Like a breath, exhaled then gone forever It seems like just yesterday How did i miss the red flags raise? Think back to the days we left We brave these bitter storms together Brought to his knees he cried But on his feet he died What god would deal a heart? And what god drove us apart? What god could... Make it stop Let this end 18 years pushed to the ledge It's come to this A weightless step On the way down, singing Whoah, oh... Bang bang from the closet walls The schoolhouse halls The shotgun's loaded Push me and i'll push back I'm done asking, i demand From the nation under god I feel its love like a cattleprod I'm born free, but still they hate I'm born me, no, i can't change It's always darkest just before the dawn So stay awake with me Let's prove them wrong Make it stop Let this end 18 years pushed to the ledge It's come to this A weightless step On the way down, singing Whoah, oh... The cold river, wash him away But how could we forget The cavalries of candles But not their tongues And too much blood has fallen from the wrist Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss? Who will rise to stop the blood? We're calling for, insisting on A different beat, yeah, a brand new song Make it stop Let this end This life chose me I'm not lost in sin I'm proud I stand Of who i am I plan of going on living Make it stop Let this end All these years pushed to the ledge I'm proud i stand Of who i am I plan to go on living |

Like a new day rising
Like a calm before the storm Like fog lifting from valleys On a sleeping forest floor Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaking off To gaze upon the wreckage That the midnight hands have wrought And now I I feel my temperature rising My body explode I feel like somebody's watching Like I'm not alone I stop dying but right there and say that Whatever path you take (the path you take) Wherever you may go (where you may go) Wherever you decide to leave I'll follow I'll fall We face a crossroad never knowing what's in store There's an angel on my shoulder There's a devil at my door She proclaimed that tonight Will be the greatest of our lives And I said, don't be so short Let's just wait until the morning light I feel my temperature rising My body explode I feel like somebody's watching Like I'm not alone I stop dying but right there and say that Whatever path you take (the path you take) Wherever you may go (where you may go) Wherever you decide to leave I'll follow I'll fall There in the clearing We gather close Under the moon's pale light We lay out the tools You don't have to do this But I forgive you if you don't She just looked away And said "I know" Gripping the midnight hands We drain the futures They might prevent Gripping the midnight hands The lines cross over The dawn grows closer In spite of too much It's just with a blind trust In order of our blind faith Whatever path you take And wherever you might go And whenever you decide to leave I'll follow I'll fall I'll bear all the falls you take (the falls you take) I will let go if you decide to stay I'll be there until you go away from here I'll follow I will follow I will follow Whatever path you take (I will follow) Wherever you might go (I will follow Wherever you decide to leave (I will follow) |

Block the entrances
Close the doors Seal the exits Because this is war All gave some Some gave all But for what I want to know Carry on Don't mind me All I gave was everything And yet you ask me for more Fought your fight Bought your lie And in return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? A folded flag A purple heart A family all but torn apart I fought with courage to preserve Not my way of life, but yours Carry on Don't mind me All I gave was everything And yet you ask me for more Fought your fight Bought your lie And in return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? The cowards preach from pedestals With words like courage and resolve But what they meant was fuck them all Because freedom isn't free They send our daughters and our sons To deserts under burning suns A sacrificial slaughtering to fill The pockets of the weak An artificial enemy Are we so easily deceived? Carry on Just walk away How many more sent to their graves In this lesson ignored? I fought your fight Bought your lie And in return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? What purpose did I serve? |

Once upon a time I could take anything
I always stepped in time, regardless of the beat I moved my feet, I carried weight What I could not do I faked I dug seeking treasure just to wake up in an early grave I stopped right then and said Go on alone Because I won't follow But this isn't giving up No, this is letting go Out with the old Dreams I’ve borrowed The path I carve from here on out will be my own This path will be my own This is the part where the needle skips and the chorus plays Like a sink that drips A syllable repeating Like a warning we aren't heeding until all of A sudden we notice it When the wheels brace and the tires grip A map we've been misreading A defeat we're not conceding until now There must be some other way out Go on alone Because I won't follow But this isn't giving up No, this is letting go Out with the old Dreams I’ve borrowed The path I carve from here on out will be my own This path will be my own The wind died The whole world ceased to move Now so quiet Her beating heart became a boom We locked eyes For just a moment or two She asked why I said, "I don't know why" Go on alone Because I won't follow This isn't giving up No, this is letting go I made the most Of all this sorrow I tried to brave this Discontent but now I'm through I'm letting go of you |

Do you see the world in different colours?
Do you see the world in black and grey? Alone in your thoughts How many others Have stood where you stand Where you stand today I've stood where you stand But all, can you Chorus: Wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now Air's running out Wait for me (x4) now A promise of safe return I delivered But the ocean is wider than I first guessed When roads disappeared I followed the rivers But somehow got in over my head So a deep breath I'm taking Chorus: Wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now Air's running out Wait for me (x4) now A lost dream of what could have been A house on fire a tangled web The key turns To find the locks have changed In time to hear the back door slam A sound that to this day I can't forget The colours drain to black and grey Chorus: Wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now Air's running out Wait for me (x4) now |

"Boy's No Good"
[Originally by Lifetime] Tune the electric bass to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th string. The boy's no good. Yeah, he's a fuckin' hood. He won't treat you like he should. I heard he's making time with this friend of mine. I heard he's talking trash. I saw that kid last night. He's starting fights. He's got that nervous twitching. He's just not the kid for you. He's all dressed up. He's got nothing to do, but he's got something. He's cool as anything, but he's not good. That boy's a fucking creep. The boy's no good. Yeah, he's a hood. He won't treat you like he should. I said the boy's no good. He's a hood. He won't treat you like I would. I said the boy's no good. Listen to what I say. The boy's no good. He'll fuck you anyway. The boy's no good. I'm gonna have a talk... the boy's no good. The boy's no fuckin' good. |

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills To the fight in the desert where progress stands still When we’ve lost our will That’s how we’ll know This is not a test, oh no This is cardiac arrest Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes We're crashing into the ground as all fall from grace When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave What more will it take For us to know This is not a test, oh no This is cardiac arrest Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes Kissing the ground as well fall from grace This is a chance to set things straight To bend or break the rules back into place There is no middle ground, no compromise, we’ve drawn the line With perfect aim, we stand back and throw Glass windows break and it’s all about to blow Lights go out as we pass the torch again In hope that it stays lit Neutrality means that you don’t really care Cause the struggle goes on even when you’re not there Blind and unaware That’s how we’ll know This is not a test, oh no This is cardiac arrest Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from grace |

We are the children you reject and disregard These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts You can't disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood And we don't disappear just because your eyes are shut, now tell me Love, loss Like a bullet's path Tear through The cavity of my chest Lights out Because the fuse has blown As their castles crumble slowly We watch them fall Their crown slips from heads unworthy As we gain control This is the family that we crossed or never had This is a war that was lost the day it began 'Cause it's the race we run, but it keeps us at the start And it's the song I sung from the bottom of my heart, that's how we Read you Like a polygraph Not one Single bone in your back Own up To how you let us down As their castles crumble slowly We watch them fall Their crown slips from heads unworthy As we gain control Except for you and me, love Everyone's the same, we know But if to live, we have to be numb I'd rather know the pain, I'd rather know This happens almost never But it happened once to me And this will never be the same The ends we seam together I'm not after fame and fortune I'm after you When I've served my time I swear I Will come back for you As their castles crumble slowly We watch them fall Their crown slips from heads unworthy And right on to ours I'm after you... |

A sinking ship, an awkward kiss A chance to set things straight The kind of hurt that burns and burns Like fires we can't contain We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice and there we'll wait So start again with steady hands This time nothing gets in our way But as we peek a little closer what do we see ? A crack in the surface A flaw in the plan (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand) A cadence imperfect Like a building condemned (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against) A promise kept The dirt unswept A poorly worn disguise A child unloved that then grows up To love what we despise We're broken but still breathing We are wounded but we are healing We pick up right where we left off Breathe on the ashed that remain So that these coals may become fire To guide our way A crack in the surface A flaw in the plan (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand) A cadence imperfect Like a building condemned (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against) I walk on wounds That seldom prove to slow me down I laugh this constant pain away So you can't tell But there it lies under the smiles It drains me mile after mile But seldom proves to slow me down Here I go Should we just hold on To what remains of What we thought was lost But it's just a crack in the surface A flaw in the plan (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand) A cadence imperfect Like a building condemned (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against) |

Black leather boots Spit-shined so bright They cut off my hair but it looked alright We marched and we sang We all became friends As we learned how to fight A hero of war Yeah, that's what I'll be And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must Because it's flag that I love And a flag that I trust I kicked in the door I yelled my commands The children, they cried But I got my man We took him away A bag over his face From his family and his friends They took off his clothes They pissed in his hands I told them to stop But then I joined in We beat him with guns And batons not just once But again and again A hero of war Yeah that's what I'll be And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must Because it's flag that I love And a flag that I trust She walked through bullets and haze I asked her to stop I begged her to stay But she pressed on So I lifted my gun And I fired away And the shells jumped through the smoke And into the sand That the blood now had soaked She collapsed with a flag in her hand A flag white as snow A hero of war Is that what they see Just medals and scars So damn proud of me And I brought home that flag Now it gathers dust But it's a flag that I love It's the only flag I trust He said, "Son, have you seen the world? Well what would you say If I said that you could?" |

Even though we know, yeah, We know, Our time has almost come, We're all overdue. Can there be a place to call our own? Can there be a road that takes us home? We toe the line (toe the line). We go along (we go along). We toe the line To you now. When it rains it pours Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves. The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets. But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore The city piece by piece. And then the clouds gave way as if to agree; When it rains it pours. The mystery unknown now unfolds, The life that we once owned, first bought, then sold. Like messengers of war, we've no control. To oceans unexplored, This ship sails through. We toe the line (toe the line). We go along (we go along). We toe the line To you now. When it rains it pours Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves. The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets. But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore The city piece by piece. And then the clouds gave way as if to agree; When it rains it pours. It pours. (It pours). When it rains it pours, When they die we mourn, When it hit, we swore, Now we want not more. Like a saint re-born, Like a rose in a storm, Like a child un-born, A child un-born... It's the coin we're tossing into the well, It's misfortune that we could not foretell, It's the dry spell. When it rains it pours Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves. The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets. But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore The city piece by piece. And then the clouds gave way as if to agree; When it rains it pours. It pours, When it rains it pours. |

There, high on the watchtower Keeping the peace Whatever that means 'Cause you see the world through Crosshairs and TVs don't you Ten foot walls built around us White picket death So quiet, so safe If we fall there will be nothing No one to catch us Sit back and watch as we Spin out of control Spin out of control Try to recover, but collide with each other We spin out of control Something I can't change I was born in a place That lives by the sword And thus to it's blade we're condemned Don't you understand why We scream "no more" My dreams are of children Orphaned by blood Spilled at these hands And here on the graves Of the innocent We raise our flag Spin out of control Spin out of control Try to recover, but collide with each other We spin out of control Some things you don't forgive some things you don't forget Sometimes the fate you suffer is so much worse than death We're way off course now and we're drifting off to sea So cut the anchor on your heart to be set free Spin out of control Spin out of control Try to recover, we have to recover Before we crash, one after the other Spin out of control! |

Far from home on a road unknown Where the vultures circle on winds that blow From northern skies that haunt these waking moments Our shadows cast by the mountain range Our calloused souls, we find a way Through desperate eyes, we long for the horizon While this sun is rising, yeah We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don't belong to anyone And we are alone under this sun And we work to fix the work that you've undone When cries for help go unanswered And signal fires just burn and burn We wonder if we're waiting here for nothing 'Cause our lips are sewn our ears are filled With the constant drone of the unfulfilled But we'll never fall if we stand for something We stand for something, yeah Yeah, we are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don't belong to anyone And we are alone under this sun And we work to fix the work that you've undone Don't fall, I see lights in the distance They're not far away Stand up 'cause the sky is turning gray There's hope in these footsteps of persistence So don't go astray These lights get closer every day 'Cause we are the long forgotten sons Yeah we are the long forgotten sons We are the long forgotten sons And daughters that don't belong to anyone And we are alone under this sun We work to fix the work that you've undone What you've undone |

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines We toss and turn but don't sleep Each breath we take makes us thieves Like causes without rebels Just talk but promise nothing else We crawl on our knees for you Under a sky no longer blue We sweat all day long for you But we sow seeds to see us through 'Cuz sometimes dreams just don't come true We wait to reap what we are due To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away And the blare of the sirens combing the streets Chased down like dogs we run from Your grasp until the sun comes up We crawl on our knees for you Under a sky no longer blue We sweat all day long for you But we sow seeds to see us through 'Cuz sometimes dreams just don't come true Look now at what they've done to you White needles buried in the red The engine roars and then it gives But never dies 'Cuz we don't live We just survive On the scraps that you throw away I won't crawl on my knees for you I won't believe the lies that hide the truth I won't sweat one more drop for you 'Cuz we are the rust upon your gears We are the insects in your ears We crawl We crawl We crawl... all over you We sow the seeds to see us through Our days are precious and so few We all reap what we are due Under this sky no longer blue We bring the dawn long over-due We crawl We crawl We crawl... all over you |

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten what the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them as the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten there is no reconciliation that will put me in my place and there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds but seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear so tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out? because I don't know that's when she said I don't hate you boy I just want to save you while there's still something left to save that's when I told her I love you girl but I'm not the answer to the questions that you still have but the day pressed on like crushing weights for no man does it ever wait like memories of dying days that deafen us like hurricanes bathed in flames we held the brand uncurled the fingers in your hand pressed into the flesh like sand now do you understand? so tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out? because I don't know that' s when she said I don't hate you boy I just want to save you while there's still something left to save that's when I told her I love you girl but I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have one thousand miles away there's nothing left to say but so much left that I don't know we never had a choice this world is too much noise it takes me under it takes me under once again I don't hate you I don't hate you so tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out? because I don't know that's when she said I don't hate you boy I just want to save you while there's still something left to save that's when I told her I love you girl but I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have I don't hate you I don't hate you, no |

She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground, Holding her breath to hear something, but the dirt made not a sound tonight Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores, where we Danced just to please the gods that only ask for more, and so it goes But still we give ourselves to this We can't spend our lives waiting to live On cold nights In a prayer for dawn But daylight Isn't what she wants The concrete Calls my name again I'm falling Through the cracks I slip The postcard says wish you were here But I'd rather I was there, holding On to the simple things before they disappear, that's what I meant But that was then, and this is now I'll make it up to you somehow On cold nights In a prayer for dawn But daylight Isn't what she wants The concrete Calls my name again I'm falling Though the cracks I slip A destination A fading smile Another station Another mile Another day gone I swore that i will Be there before dawn So be there i will She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground, Holding her breath to hear something, anything at all The Dirt Whispered, "Child, I'm coming home." On cold nights In a prayer for dawn But the daylight Isn't what she wants The concrete Calls my name again I'm falling Though the cracks I slip I slip Through the cracks I slip Through the cracks I slip Through the cracks I slip Through the cracks I slip |

Welcome home While away They have tampered with the locks And your things they rearranged "We propose... ...A better way" Said the note they left behind In their wake of disarray You fell in place Don't fall asleep They'll find us here I know a place To disappear As a voice proclaimed What we are is the sum of 1000 lives What we know is almost nothing at all But we are what we are 'til the day we die Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on 'Til we don't have the strength to go on Let us cry Let us be Let us open up our hearts Without fear of anything Faith alone's All we need To traverse this burning bridge Now before it gets too late You claim, "it's fine" But the heart reveals What smiles betray Your sad, sad eyes Gave you away Don't you know What we are is the sum of 1000 lives What we know is almost nothing at all But we are what we are 'til the day we die Or 'til we don’t have the strength to go on 'Til we don't have the strength to go on Our shoulders bear an awful weight But still we trudge on just the same Our colors run then leave a stain They blacken our once honest name How can we argue, tell me Over the fury and the fire How many times can we tell you that we Are not like you, we see right through The poor disguise that fails to fool The wary eye is trained on you What we are is the sum of 1000 lives What we know is almost nothing at all But we are what we are 'til the day we die Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on 'Til we don't have the strength to go on What we are is the sum of 1000 lives What we know is almost nothing at all But we are what we are 'til the day we die Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on 'Til we don't have the strength to go on Yeah, we don't have the strength to go on |

To the ends of this lost world You have marched and you have sworn To a tainted crown of thorns As the hungry sails unfurl We are thrusted from the shore And it's you that we stood for The blackest night The midnight sun The covered tracks The days spent on the run The strangers we've become These whereabouts unknown Please know you can come home It's alright I long for the moment Our silence is broken It's alright Another place, another time We took the same side of the line Yeah we saw eye to eye Even then the saddest sounds Were nothing laughter could not drown But we are not laughing now I see your face In my sights I hesitate And then look for a sign Somewhere in the sky These whereabouts unknown Please know you can come home It's alright I long for the moment Our silence is broken It's alright Even together we stand apart Swallow the sun, erase the sky An invitation that's been denied Where did you go? Where did you go? Your whereabouts unknown Please know you can come home It's alright I long for the moment Our silence is broken It's alright All is forgiven If you could just listen It's alright, it's alright |

Breathe deep and easy, swallow this pride.
Stare at my shaking hands though bone dry, blood shot eyes. Clock strip the hours, I count the miles. Will you be there waiting, awake until sunrise. I have traveled in darkness, for what seems like days, I crawl from these sinkholes collapsed under this weight I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight. In the glow of twilight, our world is finally calm. I felt it complete me, when the stars give way to dawn. A language universal, but I speak not his tongue. Is this a night that spans forever, or a dawn that never comes. I have traveled in darkness, for what seems like days, I, come from the same house, collapsed under this wing. I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight. Tomorrow we might wake in servitude and service? I will give you everything if you would only have me! Tomorrow we will sweat and toil, Our hands will quiver caked with soil, Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance, But tonight we dance, But tonight we dance! And for this, I travel in darkness, for what seems like days, I, come from the same house, collapsed under this wing. I know not your sorrow, but I know mine, Just say you'll stay and dance with me tonight. |

in the face of change that's when she turned to me and said, "i'm not sure anymore..." and there amidst the waves and the cloudless skies that blanket the year before i watch my life wash a shore have you ever been a part of something that you thought would never end? and then of course it did have you ever felt the weight inside you pulling away inside your skin? and then something had to give [Chorus:] now the lines are drawn is this feeling gone? the best parts of this have come and gone and now that is all this is with the reasons clear we'll spend another year without direction, full of fear and now things will be different there's nothing simple when it comes to you and i always something in this everchanging life and it probably always will now that time is getting harder to come by the same arguments are always on our mind we've killed this slowly fading light [Chorus:] now the lines are drawn is this feeling gone? the best parts of this have come and gone and now that is all this is with the reasons clear we'll spend another year without direction, full of fear but now things will be different and now something has kept me here too long and you can't leave me if i'm already gone well now something (hey) has kept me here too long and you can't leave me (hey) if i'm already gone now let's say that something (hey) has kept me here too long and you can't leave me (hey) if i'm already gone make the same mistakes we're always hanging on break the promises we're always leaning on all this time spent waking up {now i} keep this line open to get this call from you {as you} speak the words that keep me coming back to you now this time it's all different now something has kept me here too long and now i'm gone... |

They turn the lights down low,
In shadows hiding from the world, Only coming out when it gets cold The seas part when they hit the floor, The voices carry on and out the door And everything you touch turns into gold Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') That's when I got up and left A beating heart and a microphone, A ticking clock in an empty home Still tells of these times so long ago, And even though I've come so far, I know I've got so far to go and any day now I'll explode Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') That's when I got up and left Each and everyday it leads into tomorrow And tomorrow brings one less day without you But don't wait up just leave the light on Cause all the roads that I might take will all one day lead back to you Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, Your eyes they penetrate me, (Now this is too amazing) That's when I got up and left |

The day i learn to fly, i'm never coming down On perfect wings i'll rise through the layers of the clouds And from there i see the neon grids of cities Where six million people that keep their fires lit And i threw a party in my name But the hours crawled by and no one came So i bowed my head and i prayed for wings to take me from this place...from you I see myself inside, you dream the dreams that i do You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist And from there i see the neon grids of cities Where six million people that can keep their fires lit And i threw a party in my name But the hours crawled by and no one came So i bowed my head and i prayed for wings to take me from this place...from you And i close my eyes as the curtains draw I thought i heard your voice but i thought wrong 'cause you're not there anymore no you're not there anymore And so i lift my chin and the show goes on the sky is listening, the stars all sing along but you're not there anymore and i just can't care anymore |

Late nights and bloodshot eyes, clock ticking half past five, we're barely breathing but we're still alive. GO!
Our plans are all laid out, take all these unmarked roads, we blaze the trails to places no goes, yeah! One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will One last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill If in time we find ourselves, back where we started from, too weak to fight and much too tired to run Before you swallow me into your perfect life, I'm not going out without a fight, yeah! One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will One last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill But this blueprints faded grey and here it seems like just yesterday when we mapped out the details of our great escape, But still these roads all beckon me to uncover their mystery But I fall like dead autumn leaves and let the jetstream carry me One last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will One last chance to go |

they turn the lights down low, in shadows hiding from the world, only coming out when it gets cold the seas part when they hit the floor, the voices carry on and out the door and everything you touch turns into gold like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') that's when I got up and left a beating heart and a microphone, a ticking clock in an empty home still tells of these times so long ago, and even though I've come so far, I know I've got so far to go and any day now I'll explode like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') that's when I got up and left each and everyday it leads into tomorrow and tomorrow brings one less day without you but don't wait up just leave the light on cause all the roads that I might take will all one day lead back to you like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest, your eyes they penetrate me, (your answer's always 'maybe') that's when I got up and left |

If I could paint how I feel, I'd draw bullseye on your forehead
My anger is not misdirected unless it somehow misses you Time spent on hate, is time gone to waste , I watch you point and click your life away So cast the stones that I'll gladly catch And I'll throw them right back, I stand behind the things I say, You type the words you won't say to my face Time spent on hate, is time gone to waste , I watch you point and click your life away It seems you've let me go again, just like the day you let me in, the best of intentions, You were never mine to begin with So step away from the fucking screen, see a world outside your scene, Maybe then you will know and realize the lack of threat you pose |

On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door,
On windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore The traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the sun, Would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks, Would that be time enough? I can't remember exactly when this longing began But I know it wasn't before the day you touched my hand, Laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged, But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the sun, Would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks, Would that be time enough? So put your hands where I can see them, And shut your mouth, I know who you are, In a world void of feeling or heart I know that we are the torches in the dark Let's break this down, let's make this count, Let's leave this one-horse town, no better time than now [repeat x2] The angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen, The clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings, Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting And if my hand could block the sun, Would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks, Would that be time enough? Will we ever wake up? |

Can you hear the desperate cries that are calling out your name?
Twisting your arms, holding out their hands and tugging at your sleeve Do you feel this underlying sense of urgency or are you as blind as me? I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere now I can't bear the thought of losing, I dread the attention winning brings And ever since the day I came here I can stand without your strings I'm so sick of all these people But I'm scared to be alone And if this life has taught me anything I forgot it long ago and so I I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes The heart is something you can't control We either choose to follow or be left on our own So we're leaving here on a less-traveled road As desperate cries grow louder, I know we're getting close, getting close I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PRINCIPE/MCILRATH/BARNES/MOHNEY <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

It's all the same thing
Now that it ever was Except now you've strayed too far Need you to stop digging your hole And follow the path we light Don't need an invitation to be reconciled 'Cause these home fires are burning Stare into your empty eyes and wonder... How could something so right turn out so wrong? You spent your time making excuse For the ways of life that you are choosing How could something so right turn out so wrong? Not sure exactly where I am The more we organize We suck out this life that serves as the fuel behind You want to take the passion in my veins And put it down in black and white You've got your foot directly on the gas I watch you burn out so fast Now I can see just what you've become And how could something so right turn out so wrong? I don't have a backup plan This is all that I am And how could something so right turn out so wrong? Not sure exactly where I am (One) one thousand (good) intentions (Lost) translation (lost) forever (One) one thousand (good) intentions (Lost) translation (lost) forever Lost How could something so right turn out so wrong? I don't have a backup plan This is all that I am And how could something so right turn out so wrong? Not sure exactly Where I am Where I am ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PRINCIPE/MCILRATH/BARNES/WLEKLINSKI <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

Aside from the name that holds us together
Now, I think we'd fall apart It's the years we'll pretend we've forgotten That separate our hearts And I don't remember the way this was But the pictures prove I knew you once And where is the source of our mistakes? I'm afraid one day we'll drift so far We'll wake up not knowing where we are These words accomplish nothing if I'm gone... |

As I watch your life go up in flames,
You'll swear up and down you'd like to change But when the sun sinks slowly into the sky, Now you're right Where you started again with nothing to say, Without an argument or case And when it's said and done and done and said, And now what's another day? I can feel these changes right before my eyes I see a dying fire inside your eyes, inside your eyes When will you stop and realize, The worth and value of your life? As you suffocate yourself within this mindless, Nine to five wake up! there's more! And your life is nobody's but yours And now its said and done and done and said, And now what's another day? I can feel these changes right before my eyes I see a dying fire inside your eyes You're running circles around my slow pace You've reached the finish line only to realize there was no race I'm sick of being stepped on for the things I choose I give and take and now I've taken all I could And now I've taken all I could And now I've taken all I could And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken) And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken) And now I've taken all I could |

Now's the time
To rearrange your life Live for something Outside of your own mind We all dream The same dream every night To burn the world that you call civilized Alive and well I live to be alive I live to always strive For something more Alive and well I'll never understand The who, what, why or when Of you tonight... We face the stares of judgment And almost everyday The shaking heads Of disapproval say "Pray for you to give me something then find out that there was nothing left" Recite the words inside (your heart) Realize that this is nothing Without your voice I'm not giving up And I'll blame the worst on you I know what's wrong Alive and well I live to be alive I live to always strive For something more Alive and well Nothing ventured, nothing gained And I don't need to explain Myself to you |

Will we be here again? I don't know how much of me you expect standing here right now I beg for you to let go I dread the day you finally do I fight for your attention Too little too late Or too much too soon And how will this plague the time We share from here on out? And how long will this taint All these words spilling from my mouth? Have we been here before? Will we be here again? I don't know how much more of me You expect standing here right now Have we been here before? Will we be here again? |

Gethsemane!
It was the perfect night Then you had to go and ruin it with a kiss now I'm trapped inside here The innocence we held once so carelessly Has been suffocated in this breathless moment Believe in me and I will believe in you You're asking of me everything So I'll give it all to you With arms raised to the stars begging them to listen With legs littered with scars cut from these olive branches Now, point of return now crossed and our hands left shaking Tonight we give in to temptation Believe in me and I will believe in you You're asking of me everything So I'll give it all to you Someone stop my mind from screaming It's so loud I can't her myself think Life, Death, Religion, Survival It makes no sense Never try to tell me that I'm a coincidence Believe in me and I will believe in you You're asking of me everything So I'll give it all to you Believe in me and I will believe in you You're asking of me everything So I'll give it all to you And if I never have you, then I can never lose you Now, everything here is a lie Where is the truth?

Buried words
Under lights Soundtrack to this stagnant life This meaning lost in translation Message sucked out of his hands again This could be my great awakening But how would I know 'Cause it's all noise to me Are these words falling on deaf ears? Staring at the empty stares Realize that he no longer cares about the wrong or right The downward spiral begins tonight And this could be my great awakening But how would I know 'cause it's all noise to me Are these words falling on deaf ears? This could be my great awakening But how would I know 'cause it's all noise to me (Nothing I can do will make you hear) |

Fighting back the impulse turn my head and close my eyes Spending these nights awake and cold and paralyzed Wonder how we got this far and never realized The common thread that binds our lives And I know you hurt But I can help you if you can... Take my hand And we'll live inside the dreams we left behind Take my hand As we move from this place to a better life Take my hand Wohoooha If you take my hand Fighting back the feeling that you always could deny Anything but everything we know is just a lie As I cremate this memory and watch the darkened ashes rise And beneath the smoke I'll stand and ask you if you can... Take my hand And I'll promise not to ever let it go Take my hand 'Cause this hope is greater than you'll ever know (Take my hand) And this is all I'll ever ask of you to show Fight back the urges Turn my head and close my eyes And will I wake tomorrow still alive I'm still dreaming I'm still waiting I'm still sure (I'm still sure) You're still living in a life That isn't yours (That isn't yours) And this is part of me I hope you never see This is my life inside your heart Take my hand And I'll promise not to ever let it go Take my hand 'Cause this hope is greater than you'll ever know (Take my hand) And this is all I'll ever ask of you to show |

You talk about the way things were
But I can't hear what you're saying A time when life was not this hard Blessed by the innocence Is the best yet to come? Or did it pass by long ago? Are we holding on to a thread Of something already dead? I'm not your reason to stand up straight Shoulders back chest out and eyes raised Stepping back, I hesitate I can't let myself be taken The reception fades, the signals breaking up And am I moving on or am I giving up? If you walk away from this with anything Live your life today |

I'll forever cherish In the confines of my heart The faces of ten years ago Like fingerprints on my heart How can I breathe when fear chokes my every breath? How can I balance six inches from death? Now, the momentum we've created Comes to a screeching halt This angel comes crashing down On her hands and knees she crawls How can I breathe when fear chokes my every breath? How many of your lies Will I be fed? (Hey!) The remains of summer memories spent so far away (Hey!) Free from the fear or jealousy that plagues our lives today (Hey!) Now that promises we're broken enemies were made (Hey!) We spend our precious time pointing fingers trying to place the blame The remains Of what's left of our past Of a future yet to come Of the battles that we've lost And the fights that we have won |

The voices that we heard so loud Are now suddenly silenced Inside this crowd And you're surrounded by the lives Of those who found something to hold So bringing everybody down Is all you know You've been hiding so long You can't find yourself In this sheltered life you live When everything you want is at your fingertips You'll never know what need is You're claiming to be something different So wanting to believe That you're better than the rest To make up for your self-esteem You talk to hear your own voice and You've left me no choice but to choose I miss the person that you were But I don't miss you You're the new revolution The angst-filled adolescent You fit the stereotype well |

Chairs thrown and tables toppled
Hands armed with broken bottles Standing no chance to win but We're not running we're not running There's a point I think we're missing It's in the air we raise our fists in In the smiles we cast each other My sister my brother About the time we gave up hoping We'd ever find these locks still open Stumbling on stones unturned The hurt we feel we all have earned The lines we cross in search of change but all they see is treason Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy we will survive Break out I won't be left here Behind closed doors Bonfires burn like beacons Guiding the lost and weakened Flames dance on crashing waves Guiding ships who've gone astray Time out let's stop and think this through We've all got better things to do Than talk in circles run in place Answers inches from our face Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy we will survive Break out I won't be left here Behind closed doors Black eyes broken fingers Blood drips and I let it run down my lips into my swollen gums When hope is non existent Our instincts all scream Run We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy we will survive Break out I won't be left here Behind closed doors Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy we will survive Break out I won't be left here Behind closed doors |

"Behind Closed Doors" Chairs thrown and tables toppled, Hands armed with broken bottles, Standing no chance to win but, We're not running, we're not running. There's a point I think we're missing, It's in the air we raise our fists in, In the smiles we cast each other, My sister, my brother. About the time we gave up hoping We'd ever find these locks still open, Stumbling on stones unturned, The hurt we feel, we all have earned. The lines we cross in search of change, but all they see is treason. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. Bonfires burn like beacons, Guiding the lost and weakened. Flames dance on crashing waves, Guiding ships who've gone astray Time out, let's stop and think this through, We've all got better things to do, Than talk in circles, run in place, Answers {are} inches from our face. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. Black eyes, broken fingers, Blood drips and I let it run down my lips into my swollen gums. When hope is non-existent, Our instincts all scream "Run", We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. [x2] |

"Bricks"
When faith alone is not enough, To keep our heads barely above, We look for reason and come up empty-handed. And when our children fight our wars, While we sit back just keeping score, We're teaching murder not understanding now. We're setting the fires to light the way, We're burning it all to begin again, With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands, We sing for change The lives our buried sons have laid, Won't cancel debts we've yet to pay, In death, we justify anything now, As long as we blindly obey and do exactly what they say, We'll have no one to blame, but ourselves now. We're setting the fires to light the way, We're burning it all to begin again, With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands, We sing for change. We run on the fumes of injustice, We'll never die with the fuel that you give us, Keep it coming 'cause I'm prepared to burn, Keep running, find me at every turn. Your life around, (into something true, into something true) So turn your life around, (into something true, something true) We're setting the fires to light the way, We're burning it all to begin again, With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands, We sing for change. |

Spoken
This is Noise... Down beyond these city streets through gutters filled with black debris In alleys void of any light where nameless things live out of sight Down through the scrapers of the sky past neon words glowing all night Echoes my name between each car, "Are you happy where you are?" Blind to this impending fate We let the world carry our weight Its back breaks with every mile But we all live in denial Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine Let's go! And so we carry on each day as if our lives are not so grey While every breath that we take, we only suffocate Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed On Wall Street, a single mom of three, a TV personality I'm blind to this impending fate They let the world carry their weight Its back breaks with every mile But they all live in denial Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Can we be saved?

"Drones"
Deep inside these burning buildings Voices die to be heard Years we spent teaching a lesson We ourselves had never learned And if strength is born from heartbreak Then mountains I could move And if walls could speak I'd pray That they would tell me what to do If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by. Forget my name and I'll forget it too. Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you. No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame, We'd know the way but can't remember, conception to the grave, Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear, All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears. If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by. Forget my name and I'll forget it too. Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you. The drones all slave away, they're working overtime, They serve a faceless queen, they never question why. Disciples of a God, that neither lives nor breathes, (I won't come back!) But we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed! (I won't come back!) I won't come back! And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by. Forget my name and I'll forget it too. Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you. I'm coming back to you |

You spend your days counting the hours you're awake
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same it's a burden you've been burying in spite of all your prayers as the light turns off inside your heart do you remember what it's like to care knees are weak, hands are shaking, i can't breathe Give me the drug, keep me alive, give me whats left of my life let me go pull this plug, let me breath on my own i'm finally free let me go The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way if you never meant to leave then you only had to stay with the memories that haunt us, i charish just the same as the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grave yet i fall through these clouds and she's screaming Give me the drug, keep me alive give me whats left of my life let me go pull this plug, let me breath on my own i'm finally free let me go this grip loosens but it never breaks we carry nothing but a name you will forsake your words are always there to break my fall and now i find the comfort to see through it all guide me through uncharted waters before we lose our way again will you be my compass until forever, until forever ends knees are weak, hands are shaking i can't breathe Give me the drug,keep me alive give me whats left of my life let me go pull this plug, let me breathe on my own I'm finally free let me go (x3) |

Tell me how these things traced with colors filled with black debris And how these loyal, living reich were nameless things swept out of sight Dead through the streamers on the sky past neon words where we Remember those killed by names we each call, are you happy where you are? Blind to this impending fate We'll let the world carry our weight Its back breaks with every mile But we all live in denial Can we be saved, has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine Let's go! And so we carry on each day as if our lives were not so real While every breath that we take, we only suffocate First bouts of delirium and scenes of homeless Democrats On Wall Street, a single mom of three, a TV personality I’m blind to this impending fate We'll let the world carry their weight Its back breaks with every mile But they all live in denial Can we be saved, has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've begun? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right Can we be saved, has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine |

"Prayer Of The Refugee" Warm yourself by the fire, son, And the morning will come soon. I’ll tell you stories of a better time, In a place that we once knew. Before we packed our bags And left all this behind us in the dust, We had a place that we could call home, And a life no one could touch. Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Down! We are the angry and the desperate, The hungry, and the cold, We are the ones who kept quiet, And always did what we were told. But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm, In the safety of your home. We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up Everything you’ve known. Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! So open your eyes child, Let’s be on our way. Broken windows and ashes Are guiding the way. Keep quiet no longer, We’ll sing through the day, Of the lives that we’ve lost, And the lives we’ve reclaimed. Go! Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up… (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t hold me up… (I don’t need your help) No! No! No! Don’t hold me up! (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t hold me up! (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down! |
