Wake me up inside. Tell me there's a reason. Take another step. To get up off my knees and. Follow this path of most resistance. How ever it takes us.
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.
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.
So look in my eyes, what will you leave behind once you've gone? (so precious). You got what you came for now I think it's time to move on (went will you stay).
Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.. Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat. I moved my feet, I carried weight. What I could not do I faked.
Are we so alone. So distant. So forgotten. As we think ourselves to be?. . These are our lives. But did they ever even matter?. Are we worth remembering?.
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.
And all these things that we tie together. Keep unraveling apart. And the light that used to burn so bright. Now is dark. With anger-laced intent we set fire.
All hail, the jester has landed. Defile the country he sings. Charmed like a snake in a basket. Should be coiled up and ready to spring. We're raising our cross just to burn it.
Light up the torches and wake up the King. The smoke you've ignored is a flame you can't contain. . We circle the walls and claw at the dirt. We growl from our guts and howl until it hurts.
Stand by to switch on, we fire on all pistons. We're singing along but no one is listening. From dusk until dawn we stay up to carry the flame. And when it's all said and done in these alternate endings.
There's something wrong with the words that we're not saying. And the silence we're creating like a ghost note symphony. There's something wrong and the temperature is rising.
I hear your voice in the wind. It follows me, it cuts right through the noise. As we spin on dance floors made of ice. So rest your hand in mine. Steady now, ignore the sound.
We scan the empty sky always without success. We're lighting signal fires and spelling SOS. We stare at broken clocks, the truth comes twice a day. While every second just slips away.
I can see the storms in her eyes now. I'm fallen overboard in the waves. In over my head and she's a high tide. That keeps pushing me away. I thought that we would build this together.
How many walls can you put up?. How many guns 'til you feel safe?. How many times can we watch this story over and over and over again?. And how many years have we wasted counting the lies that we've been fed?.
Thank you for your silence, your continuing compliance. It's your head buried so deep in sand that ushered in the virus. Oh no please don't lift a finger.
Keeping up appearances. Don't break now or buckle from the weight. Pretend to laugh but don't laugh too loud. Do you feel the pressure building. The anger spilling out now.
Dancing on the crumbling precipices. The rocks are coming loose just at the edge. Are we laughing?. Are we crying?. Are we drowning?. Are we dead?. Or is it all a dream?.
I tried to reach you, I can't hide. How strong's the feeling when we dive. Across the ocean of my mind. . My wounds are healing with the salt. . All my senses intensify.
