The Here and Now
The years I put into this It could take a second To tear down years of work, and We won't get these days Back again (Back again) And I can't understand why I've been put here I'm stuck in a world of sympathy with nobody watchin' over me And the words roll over and over Yet our hearts will never be lifted Someone tell me how I've ended up here With nobody watchin' over me? Oh We need to bring back the days we used to love Before all the colour drains away (Drains away) And I can't understand why I've been put here I'm stuck in a world of sympathy with nobody watchin' over me And I can't understand why I've been put here I'm stuck in a world of sympathy with nobody watchin' over me (To all those) Not living in the here and now (To all those) Not living in the here and now (To all those) Not living in the here and now To all those, sing it loud Where did they go? The days we used to know? Where did they go? Have I forgotten what it feels like? Where did they go? (Where did they go?) The days we used to know? Where did they go? (Where did they go?) Have I forgotten what it feels like? And the words roll over and over Yet our hearts will never be lifted, oh

We are the misguided youth They backed us into a corner All our lives we've been infected They should have never had a chance Because they're forcing us to believe In a world we shouldn't trust Delete, rewind And try to change this state of mind Give us something to believe in Give us something to make our own Give us something to believe in Give us something to make our own When we will we stand up and choose our paths? This is the end of the world At least that's what we're told This is the end of the world Board up your windows and lock the doors Turn out the lights, turn out the lights Oh, this is getting old We are the misguided youth We sat back and lost our voices Delete, rewind Try to change this state of mind Delete, rewind And try to change this Because they're pushing us to the left In a world we shouldn't trust Delete, rewind And try to change this state of mind I don't believe you knew it all, you knew it all along Delete, rewind, delete, rewind When will we stand up We've been through enough When will we stand up How'd we let them get the best of us? When will we stand up We've been through enough When will we stand up How'd we let them take the best of us?

And I can't seem to get a hold of this This mess seems to be taking Its grasp on every Everything that we once worked for And I can't bear to watch Everything just fall around me And I've been struggling for so long, so long And I've been looking for a way To make everything just fall into place When the red glazes over my eyes There's nothing anyone can say or do Just you try and stop me Try and stop what I've become How I wish there was a way And I've been struggling for so long, so long And I've been looking for a way To make everything just fall into place Everything just falls into place Every word I ever said Is making sense again When the red glazes over my eyes There's nothing anyone can say or, say or do And still today I cannot tell Dreams from nightmares anymore And still today I cannot tell Dreams from nightmares anymore, anymore And I've been struggling for so long, so long And I've been looking for a way To make everything just fall into place If you reject the ones you love You'll find yourself torn and broken again If you reject the ones you love You'll find yourself torn and broken again, again, again If you reject the ones you love You'll find yourself torn and broken again If you reject the ones you love You'll find yourself torn and broken again, again, again

Stay young forever You've done this to yourself or so, so it seems You've left behind everything All your friends and all your family Does it not feel slightly daunting How do you sleep at night When you must be able to hear them fight It's all about you All about the way you choose to live You still put smoke in your lungs, despite not giving enough You still put smoke in your lungs, despite not giving enough How did it come to this Is there any point to this, are you even listening to us Are you even listening to us You left everyone you loved Crushed, broken, snapped straight in half You left everyone you loved Crushed, broken, snapped straight in half You made your choice, now turn and get out You made your choice, now turn and get out How do you sleep at night It's all about you, it's all about you How do you sleep at night It's all about you, it's all about you You still put smoke in your lungs, despite not giving enough You still put smoke in your lungs, despite not giving enough You left everyone Crushed, broken, snapped straight in half
