(Verse)
|
I watched the rise and the fall and the countermath
|
I lived to see all the steps fall back
|
I watched the worlds all crashed and crumbling
|
Just to be renamed while we slept
|
|
Wait to surf in the ocean's winding
|
We promise peace but the peace won't last
|
Cause now we're forced to play so nervously
|
Waiting for this hunger to eat at us
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I'm still gone in the rubble
|
Like a silt to numb
|
I see a lot
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I've been awake too long
|
Wished there was something that could close my eyes
|
To all that I say
|
Wait too long, it would be easier
|
To fall asleep
|
|
(Verse)
|
We fell in love but the love is running out
|
We follow roads but the roads are lent
|
We live to learn, and learn to live with them
|
Falling from the madness we assemble
|
|
I've seen the eyes of the ones left behind
|
I've seen the child of the violent man
|
Never once did our leaders apologize
|
For battles they begin
|
|
(Bridge)
|
I can't look away or pretend not to see
|
And still I say
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I've been awake too long
|
Wished there was something that could close my eyes
|
To all that I say
|
Wait too long, it would be easier
|
To fall asleep
|
