And the way the people suffer is

The politicians hesitate

And the truth that hides within these walls

All the proof that wants to suffocate

 

And the pleas for what the people need

Reads one higher than the government

Can't decide to live with what's real

Can't hang on to what the problem is

 

Chorus:

Witness to the ones

That crash beside you

Feed the will that needs

To once resist the world-

            -Just once

 

For the reasons out of our hands

Seeking answers where we don't belong

And believe the things we choose to hear

It all gets lost before too long

 

And nothin's ever gonna change

The tongues that only spread deceit

Don't hold your breath for justice here

And stuck waiting for the reasoning

 

Bridge:

Self-righteous beats the man

Who pretends to pull you through

I see your paranoia

As the strength of disease leaves you alone

And constant deeds infectious

With the sickness of greed - to each his own

Bridge:

And you know

It's time to remember

Chorus: 

Give in - This race depends upon inertia

That's where you'll wait

Believe - That's where you stay without inertia

Wait for that day to come-

I see your wealth receding

With one look in the eyes you know it's gone

While honesty's diluted

Within your compromise you feed the wrong

But hunger pangs stay restless

As you ignore the truth in front of you

Bridge:

But you fall

And hide before you wake up

Standard of life has dropped again - another sign

That this the age we lost our innocence

Imagine the paradigm shift this truth creates

When all's lost we learn to hit the ground

                            -and self serve

 

Bridge:

We can be - Reborn

We can be - Reborn - Eternally

 

Chorus:

On your knees - Just a state of mind

  To see it all unfold

Distant real - Leaves a bitter taste

  Stay constantly driven - If you would just believe

                           -if you would just believe

 

A common excuse survive on lies - fed by design

You think fools avoid their punishment

Don't wait too long to breathe it in - A second chance

Converse with sight where clear division stands

                           -it stops here

What is it in this life that's not clear to you

Just the answers they give that you already knew

You pretend that you're lost even now that you're found

Where is your happiness? Where is your safe and sound?

 

Wash the sin from your hands and come crawling back

There's no comfort inside, you'll just fall through the cracks-

 

Bridge:

-Of your life, I can tell you don't care

I'll pave the road, meet me half way there

And all the way like you wanted to be

Just take my hand and come along with me

 

Chorus:

Cause I need you to be standing until it breaks

No matter what it takes

And I want you to see just how far you have gone

All your drifting is done

 

And you think you stick out like you're walking on air

Then you realize your faith's the thing that takes you right there

You don't see it as clear as you once thought you would

Just old men dreaming dreams like you wish that you could

Step inside to thrive on empathy

Separate yourself from all those memories

And check your head when your world fades to grey

Belief in the background of all your basic needs

 

Bridge:

Just another reason to start again

Nothing wastes away

 

Chorus:

And all fall short in this place of cessation

 

Just sit tight because things are about to change

Becoming visual with all those subtleties

Pick your fights because loss puts pride to shame

But don't go easy still before it atrophies


Bridge:

Just another reason to start again

Taking balance away

 

Chorus:

And all fall short in this place of cessation

And deep inside is this place of cessation

I'm getting bored of listening to myself

And I'm a bit tired of my way of thinking

I keep thinking I'm someone else

Selfish ways that prove that I'm on my own again

And I can't wait for the verdict to come in-

                        -I'm not a dead end

 

Bridge:

And if I had my way

I'd be the first to say

I'd be the one to want

 

Chorus:

Take me over again

 

I'm sleeping away those wounds that never healed

And I can't help this loss of all control

That's the only way I feel

Taking it day by day 'til I get on my feet again

And I won't look back at all the things I did-

                        -That's just the way in
