{Whoo-ooh Goooo...}

Hands up and don't you make a sound
Shotgun is pointed at me now
It just might blow me away

So here's all I have, it isn't much but please
All I ask is let me walk away
Just then I thought I heard the sound

I never had this feeling so cold
I stood there freezing and waiting
I never had this feeling so cold
It seems too easy, it seems too easy to be gone

Hands out before I kiss the ground
Shotgun still pointed at me now
Ready to blow me away

And I don't think I will make it home tonight
Don't think I will make it out alive
That's when I then I thought I heard the sound

I never had this feeling so cold
I stood there freezing and waiting
I never had this feeling so cold
It seemed too easy, it seemed too easy to be gone

Each night I dream it all again
Steel barrel up against my head
Each night I never get away
Shots fired, shots fired, shots

If the light should take me
Then tonight I'll be free

I never had this feeling so cold
I stood there freezing and waiting
I never had this feeling so cold
It seemed to easy, it seemed to easy to be gone

I'm blessed by a nightmare nightly
And when I'm dying it reminds me
I grab the air now and hold it tightly
Remember everything I love, then I'm gone

I was drunk, sober, tarnished and pure
All I ever wanted was a little bit more
I had eyes that were heavy, sickly and sore
Blacked out windows and a bolt on the door

I was shell shocked shaken from the world outside
I had voices come and wake me in the dead of the night
At the end of the tunnel they says there's a light
I hope there's more to living than just being alive

Cause the blind truth, It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting
Yeah the blind truth, It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting for you

I was judge, jury, witness and one
I put myself on trial for the things I had done
Folks are staring, lookin' at what I've become
Cold and unforgiving like the face of a gun

Went underneath my skin and felt my blood so warm
Waking up my senses like the day I was born
I was the sickness and I was the cure
I never thought that I would feel so safe and secure

And the blind truth, It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting
Yeah the blind truth, It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting for you

{Ooh-OOH-oOh-ooh}

Is the outside just your reflection?
No
It's a whispering that you hear when you're alone
It's all I know

Without the blood beneath my skin
It was so warm
It was just like the very first day
I was born

And the blind truth, It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting
Yeah the blind truth, It'll find you
In the end it's all that's waiting

Always watching always wishing
In the end it's all that's waiting for you

I met a man named Byron Black
And he carried his life strapped to his back
On a sidewalk in Houston he called home
Crying: "Don't you forget me"
He said: "Don't you forget me"

You don't know what it's like to walk alone
You don't know and I hope you never will

Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

And what can I do now?

Faces of people he would see
They were colder than any city street
And the days go on and on and they just walk by
He said: "I'm disappearing"
He said: "I'm disappearing"

You don't know what it's like to walk alone
You don't know and I hope you never will

Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

And we all walk in their names
But our hearts don't work the same
By-products of evolution
Lost, always looking for a lost solution now

{Every stride wears the soul more thin}
{'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing}

Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing
Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

Every stride wears the soul more thin
'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

No!

Across these highways
And deadend roads
You wandered down
For somewhere now

And you travel lightly
Just the air inside was all you'd take
To carry on your way
Hoping lesser 'til the end

Cause after all the frames filled the wall
Then you ripped them down
After all they're leaves in the fall
Scattered on the ground

You ended up
Back, where you began
And you couldn't find
A face you knew

And you were hoping
You could always go back to that place
You wanted it to wait
SOmewhere we'll never see again

Cause after all the frames filled the wall
Then you ripped them down
After all they're leaves in the fall
Scattered on the ground

Chromatic fades
Not when you're holding on
Drink 'til the glass
Is gone

After all the frames filled the wall
Then you ripped them down
After all they're leaves in the fall
Scattered on the ground

{A-yooooo-ooo-woooo}
{A-yooooo-ooo-woooo-ooo-ooo}

You're probably sick of being tired
You can't find the strength to close your eyes
You can't let go, but you can't change everything
Stop lying in this burning bed

Write it on the walls and read it
Bright red so you can see it
Don't fail me now
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound

At least for now

Time's gonna warn you with a whisper
What it wants to let you know
You can't live in fear of the things that aren't for sure
So stay alive by playing dead

Write it on the walls and read it
Bright red so you can see it
Don't fail me now
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound

Still there are lines for us to write before we close our eyes
And only time will tell the ending when the ink runs dry
Time will tell everything
It's ever so quiet counting down

Write it on the walls and read it
Blood red so you can see it
Life leaking out
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound

At least for now
At least for now

Divine intervention
So few and far between
Like lightning when it touches to the ground

Answer me the question
I'm ready to believe
I hold my breath before I let it out

The face we show
The one we hide
The hands we hold
And leave behind

For all we lose
And all we find
Here while we live
And while we die

The wait for redemption
It gets heavy on the mind
And I burn my eyes out
Staring at the sun

At this intersection
We were looking for the signs
And up ahead these roads
They bend to one

The ties we bind
The ones we break
The solid ground
Beneath us shakes

What it tears down
And what it makes
And what we give
Is all we'll take

To ride along the horizon
When these days are gone
It's what we become
As we ride along the horizon
When these days are gone
It's what we become

The face we show
The one we hide
The hands we hold
And leave behind

For all we lose
And all we find
Here while we live
And while we die

The ties we bind
The ones we break
The solid ground
Beneath us shakes

What it tears down
And what it makes
And what we give
Is all we'll take

Divine intervention
Hanging in the air we breathe
And I'll fill my lungs with all that they can hold

As for all the questions
We've got everything we need
To guide us now whichever way we go

I was waiting
Watching every single move
On the wire I cling to

And I feel it
Like a cold and empty room
There was nothing left to lose

I know, I know you're waiting
I'll see you again
If it's the last thing I can do
I know, I know it's all that's true

I was wasted
Without everything I knew
I was lost without a clue

I know, I know your waiting
I'll see you again
If it's the last thing I can do
I know, I know it's all that's true

Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...

And I wandered so blind
That it brought me back to you
And I screamed at the sky
And it turned from black to blue

I know, I know your waiting
I'll see you again
If it's the last thing I can do
I know, I know it's all that's true, that's true

That's true
That's true
That's true
That's true

That's true
That's true
That's true...

Now I'm weightless
Staring out across the view
Over mountains I can't move

I don't know if we'll make it home
All we can do for now is hope
I don't know if we'll make it home
Water all around could swell and wash us all away, away

And if we never set our feet on land again
This will be one lesson I will not forget

And if you drown, you won't even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown

I'm losing track of all the days
Lost inside a lifeboat
Drifting out with all the waves
The waves

And some will find their way by looking towards the sky
And so we'll leave their fate up to these ocean tides

And if you drown, you won't even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown

And when you drown
You'll never even make a sound
And when you drown
You're gonna swallow water down

The water gets so heavy
The water gets so heavy
The water gets so heavy
The water's heavy when you drown

You won't even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown

{You won't even make a sound}
You'll never even make a sound
You'll just swallow water down
At the bottom you'll find out
That it's quiet when you drown

Through the longest night, by this candle-light
We stand to cut the dark in two
And the concrete rain shattered window panes
But no, it never shattered you

As long as there is blood inside my veins...

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day, I swear, I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes

And the 12th day showed that the sun still rose
As we tried to find our way
Through the steel and smoke, though it smouldered
We were cold and blanketed by grey

All we had was everything we gave...

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day, I swear, I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes

And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
We remember, we recover
As we hold on to each other

And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
As we hold on to each other
In a silent moment we think of you now

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day, I swear, I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes

These empty spaces, across a bruised skyline
The names and faces, I can't erase them from my mind
These empty spaces, across a bruised skyline
The names and faces, I can't erase them from my mind

Tonight I have decided that
There's only one way out
And I tried so hard to fight it
But the blame kept coming down

Nowhere to hide
You were always way too strong
Out in the night
As cicadas sing their song

Tell me, are you listening?
Cause no-one hears a thing

Tonight I have decided that
There's only one way out
And I tried so hard to fight it
But the blame kept coming down

And I've got a torrid story
But there's no-one I can tell
I don't know if there's a Heaven
But I'm sure that there's a Hell

I feel the knife
Like the first time breathing in
Come to life
Like we'll never be again

Tell me, are you listening?
Cause no-one hears a thing

Tonight I have decided that
There's only one way out
And I tried so hard to fight it
But the blame kept coming down

And it led me right where
Your heart should have been
And it was the last thing you saw
Was it in?

I feel the knife
Like the first time breathing

Tonight I have decided that
There's only one way out
And I tried so hard to fight it
But the blame kept coming down

And I've got a torrid story
But there's no-one I can tell
I don't know if there's a Heaven
But I'm sure that there's a Hell

Out in the night
The cicadas sing their song
Out in the night
The cicadas sing their song

If there's a light, leave it on
If there's a way
Somehow thin air's taking your place

Dead of the night's coming on
It's getting late
I hear my heart starting to break

And I'll wait for you
Faith is just a promise
I will make for you
Places that are haunted, I'll be there

I walked for miles, on and on
Searching in vain
A voice in the dark calling your name

I dreamt walls of fire rising up
Stood in the way
Tempered my soul walking through flames

And I'll wait for you
Faith is just a promise I will make for you
Places that are haunted, I will wait for you
Faith is just a promise I will make for you
Places that are haunted, I'll be there

I wanted to believe {I wanted to believe}
In more than I can see {In more than I can see}
Each breath I take {Each breath I take}
I'll leave my faith waiting to come down

If there's a light, leave it on
If there's a light
If there's a light, leave it on
If there's a light

And I'll wait for you
Faith is just a promise I will make for you
Places that are haunted, I will wait for you
Faith is just a promise I will make for you
And greed is always honest, I will wait for you

I never thought I'd come back around
I never thought I'd see you again
And it took one night when I packed my life
And one to take it out again

I took a look at a photograph
Where we didn't even notice the lens
Something came to life from that 3x5
It was you and me and innocence

This is what I want
This is what I need
This is exactly
What I've been waiting for

This is what I want
This is what I need
This is exactly
What I've been waiting for

I set it up in a picture frame
Then I put a nail into the wall
Time has put lines here on my face
But it doesn't matter now at all

It was me and you when we were together
It was me and you when we were apart
It was me and you in my mind and
It was me and you in my heart

This is what I want
This is what I need
This is exactly
What I've been waiting for

It took so long to find it
Some they never will
A color print it took time
And it held it still

This is what I want
This is what I need
This is exactly
What I've been waiting for

This is what I want
This is what I need
This is exactly
What I've been waiting for
