I sit here clutching uselessness keys from doors that don't exist I crack my teeth on pearls
tear into the history show me what it means to me in this world, yeah in this world
because I am due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I stare straight, into the sun and I won't close my eyes until I understand or go blind
seen the parts but not the whole studied saints and scholars both And no perfect plan unfolds do I trust my heart or just my mind why is truth so hard to find, in this world, yea in this world
because I am due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I stare straight, into the sun and I won't close my eyes until I understand or go blind
know that there're a point I've missed father stone I haven't kissed a sky that never graced my wrist a mirror hasn't left my fist but I can't help Feeling like I'm
feeling like I'm due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I stare straight, into the sun and I wont close my eyes due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes
one day the dreamers died within us when all our answers never came we hid the truth beneath our skin but our shadows never looked the same
a ghost is all that's left of everything we swore we never would forget we tired to bleed the sickness but we drained our hearts instead we are the dead
and when we couldn't stop the bleeding we held our hearts over the flame we couldn't help but call it treason after that we couldn't fill our frames after that our shadows never looked the same
a ghost is all that's left of everything we swore we never would forget we tried to bleed the sickness but we drained our hearts instead we are the dead
in summers past we'd challenge fate with higher pitch and perfect aim and standing fast, we'd radiate a light we loved but never named but the answers never came and our shadows never looked the same
a ghost is all that's left of everything we swore we never would forget we tried to bleed the sickness but we drained our hearts instead we are the dead
a ghost of everything we though but never said we tried to bleed the sickness but we drained our hearts instead
we are the ones who lost our faith we dug ourselves an early grave we are the dead, can we be saved?
they are sick, they are poor and they die by the thousands and we look away they are wolves at the door they are not going to move us or get in our way
cause we don't have the time here at the top of the world yeah we're doing just fine here at the top of the world
we hold our own by keeping our hearts cold
different god, darker skin they are just not a burden that we'd like to bear they are living in sin just throw out any reason for us not to care
cause we're feeling alright here at the top of the world yeah we're doing just fine here at the top of the world
we've learned that money matters most so we keep our cards held close here at the top of the world
we hold our own by keeping our hearts cold we learned what matters most so we keep our hearts cold
they are no one they are no where they are not our problem not worth saving nonexistent if we keep our hearts cold
Paint the target We don't need no evidence Flood the market We do it all in self defense You're a smart kid Never work without your gloves If you're a smart kid You'll stay the hell away from love
And if it comes to murder Don't tell and we won't ask you how You sleep at night when the lights go out And you're all alone With all the ghosts of lesser humans Whose lives you've spilt to suit your own
Sit and think of All the dollars and the cents And your blue blood You'll see it all makes perfect sense Drink from this cup A better life awaits us all You're one of us Remember conscience comes before the fall
Your actions all are justified Your actions all are justified
And if it comes to murder Don't tell and we won't ask you how You sleep at night when the lights go out And you're all alone With all the ghosts of lesser humans Whose lives you've spilt to suit your own But don't we all bleed red blood? Don't we all bleed red blood?
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger And I realize that empty words are not enough I'm left here with the question of just What have I to show except the promises I never kept? I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets I hope that I will never let you down I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that there's A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it Rhetoric can't raise the dead I'm sick of always talking when there's no change I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound
the towers that shoulder your pride the words you've written in stone sand will cover them, sand will cover you the streets that suffer your name your very flesh and your bones sand will cover them, sand will cover you
so put your faith in more than steel don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust where thieves break in and steal pull the fangs from out your heel we live in but a shadow of the real
step out from time, see the dust of nations step out from time, hear the stars ovation
saturn will not sleep, until the sand has made us clean still we stack our stones and bury what we can but it all will be undone, and nothing built under the sun will ever stand before the endless march of sand
so put your faith in more than steel don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust where thieves break in and steal pull the fangs from out your heel we live in but a shadow of the real
so put your faith in more than steel don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust where thieves break in and steal pull the fangs from out your heel we live in but a shadow of the real
I was always one of the righteous Never lived outside of the lines Kept a close watch on the white wash Disguising the dead bones inside Disguising the dead bones inside I was always one the good ones Keeping tabs on everyone else Sure that I was One of the chosen I was a child of hell I was a child of hell But you buried me in the bright light Yeah you held my eyes to the sun till I could see that That I was worse than I ever feared I could be But somehow I was loved more than I ever dared to believe Because of you I was always one of the blameless Or at least that's what I believed I never thought I could have been blinded Until I could no longer see Until I could no longer see But you buried me in the bright light Yeah you held my eyes to the sun till I could see That I was worse than I ever feared I could be But somehow I was loved more than I ever dared to believe you show me I was worse than I ever feared I could be But somehow I was loved more than I ever dared to believe Because of you
