Oh, I can see the storms in her eyes now I'm falling 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 But everything I touch just seems to break Am I your sail or your anchor? Am I the calm or the hurricane? I feel the ground start to shake I hear a voice shouting "Move" But there is no fucking way I'd leave you So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh oh oh And like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh oh oh But is the soundtrack to our lives The bang of a slamming door? What happens when we all start to feel like Nothing matters anymore? Every day like a chambered round, a trigger pulled A hammer click, a breath we hold A world outside I can't control No matter what I do So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh oh oh And like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh, oh, oh How is it a thing? That we just wanna hurt each other I'm waiting on for rain Feels like is gonna rain forever Someday you will learn That all I ever did was for you And I would do it all again Yeah, I would do it all again And 'til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade You'll touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh oh oh Like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I can't let go of you, oh oh oh oh Of you Of you, oh oh oh oh Of you Of you

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 Are you gonna wait here for a sign to let you know now? Are you gonna sit there paralyzed by what you've seen? Or are you gonna finally grip the wheel? I think you know how Is this more than you expected it to be? Don't wait for a miracle To tumble from the sky To part the seas around you Or turn water into wine Don't wait for a miracle The world is passing by The walls, that will surround you Are only in your mind, oh oh oh And the stage is set And the curtains pulled Ready or not, it's time, on with the show And now the crowds have grown impatient And the train has left the station And the candles you are burning in the dark will fade away So what what are you waiting for? A sign to let you know now? Are you gonna sit there paralyzed by what you've seen? Or are you gonna finally grip the wheel? I think you know how Are you gonna throw it all away? Don't wait for a miracle To tumble from the sky To part the seas around you Or turn water into wine Don't wait for a miracle The world is passing by The walls, that will surround you Are only in your mind, oh oh oh When the weight we carry breaks us, we're tempted to stay down But every road to recovery starts at the breakdown But we don't need miracles To tumble from the sky To part the seas around us Or turn water into wine 'Cause we are the miracles We happen all the time We're not scared of what surrounds us We're not waiting for a sign 'Cause we are the miracles Yeah, we are the miracles We are the miracles Hey

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 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 If this life has taught me anything I forgot it long ago and so 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 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-travelled road As the desperate cries grow louder I know we're getting close We're 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 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

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? 'Cause 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" Whoa whoa, whoa And 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? 'Cause 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" Whoa whoa, whoa 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, no But tell me now If this ain't love then how do we get out? 'Cause 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" Whoa whoa, whoa And I don't hate you I don't hate you, no, whoa, whoa And I don't hate you No, I don't hate you Whoa whoa, whoa

I can still remember The words and what they meant As we etched them with our fingers In years of wet cement Days blurred into each other Though everything seemed clear We cruised along at half speed But then we shifted gears We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns But even then we should have stayed But we ran away Now all my friends have gone Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone? Identities assume us As nine and five add up Synchronizing watches To the seconds that we lost I looked up and saw you I know that you saw me We froze but for a moment In empathy I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug You gave my emptiness a name Then you ran away And now all my friends have gone Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone? We're all okay, until the day we're not The surface shines, while the inside rots We raced the sunset and we almost won We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on And we ran away And now all my friends have gone Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone?

Do you see the world in different colors? Do you see the world in black and gray? Alone in your thoughts How many others have stood where you stand Where you stand today? I've stood where you stand But oh, can you... Wait for me now? To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The air's running out Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me now The 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 Wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The air's running out Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me 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 colors drained to black and gray, oh Wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The air's running out Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me now

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 become 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 paranoaia 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 Oh, Gone are the old guards Gone are the cold, cold wars Weightless we go forth On wings of amnesty (All we rely 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 No more, no more No more, no more The weight that we once had is gone

Light all the torches, 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 I told her "come with me and I can take you from this place now Somewhere these roads don't go, a place that we can start again" I grabbed her hand and pulled her close She looked at me and said "hey I don't even know your name" But I'm ready to explode Like a tiger in a circus Cracking whips are all I know I'm searching for a sense of purpose We are the wolves at the gate Our numbers growing everyday But you can't fight us all, no You can't fight We are the wolves at the wall We break in like a waterfall But you can't fight us all, no You can't fight The water is breaching the walls of the dam Trampling dreams in a rush to higher land Are you ready to explode? Like a tiger in a circus? This cage is all I've ever known But now you've given me a purpose We are the wolves at the gate Our numbers growing everyday But you can't fight us all, no You can't fight We are the wolves at the wall We break in like a waterfall But you can't fight us all, no And we are not going away Roaming in numbers and chasing the scent Circling in for the kill And you are the winter, the long discontent We won't stop 'til we've had our fill Roaming in numbers and chasing the scent Circling in for the kill And you are the winter, the long discontent We won't stop 'til we've had our fill We are the wolves We are the wolves We are the wolves

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 Don't get up, just sit right there (Oh, no) Don't worry about the thoughts Inside your pretty little head So we stick to the script and recite your lines Don't break from the character just keep it inside But this is bullshit (Bullshit) It's finally coming into focus (Focus) You're lying and I think you know it But you're too afraid to face the storm you helped create Yeah, this is bullshit (Bullshit) And did you think I wouldn't notice? (Notice) Cracks in your theory are showing like a broken vase Your grip around me dissipates And we are separated only by divisions and the walls that we create (And we are separated only by divisions and the walls that we create) But we are more alike than different when we stop and take a minute face to face (But we are more alike than different when we stop and take a minute face to face) They say we're divided and we are conquered Yeah, but our enemies have never been each other, no 'Cause this is bullshit (Bullshit) It's finally coming into focus (Focus) You're lying and I think you know it But you're too afraid to face the storm you helped create Yeah, this is bullshit (Bullshit) And did you think I wouldn't notice? (Notice) Cracks in your theory are showing like a broken vase Your grip around me dissipates So we scale the walls and fire escapes A wheat paste brush and cans of paint To cover up your walls with something new 'Cause we all know Your signs say we're not good enough Not cute enough, not smart enough Not worth your love, out with the old And in with something new (Bullshit, it's coming around But this is bullshit, it's not slowing down This is bullshit and it always was And this is bullshit and you know it) Bullshit, not sorry to say But this is bullshit, you've been lying to me Bullshit and it always was And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know That this is bullshit coming right at you Bullshit coming home to roost Bullshit and you're too afraid To face the storm you helped create This is bullshit This is bullshit Bullshit and you're too afraid To face the storm you helped create

This night will fall like any other Daylight subsides and shadows crawl Out from under black corners Hiding something stars All so restless Cracked windows open wide Dead-bolt turns, doors creak open Whispers and moonlight there to guide Come raise your lantern to the sky Can we illuminate this night? We'll dance like heathens round a flame While the world sleeps we are awake The black brook calls, it sings a chorus While the gathering swells The flames grow tall right before us As drums keep pounding And the masses now are fusing Bodies pressed and tangled As we revel in confusion Our inhibitions thrown into the fire Come raise your lantern to the sky Can we illuminate this night? We'll dance like heathens round a flame While the world sleeps we are awake Here in the dark we are safe from the judgment Now arm in arm locked tight so no one gets in The hell is sent, see, child, you are hellbent But hell is not where we're going, hell is where we've been Come raise your lantern to the sky And let's illuminate this night We'll dance like heathens around the flame And while the world sleeps we are awake Raise your lantern to the sky And let's illuminate this night We'll dance like heathens around the flames While the world sleeps we are awake (Raise your lantern to the sky) Yeah, we are awake (Hey, hey, hey) We are awake (Now raise your lantern to the sky) We are awake, yeah, we are awake, we are awake
