Here I've been going over reasons And you keep looking over my shoulder Hold me now to these promises I haven't made Time will tell just how much you'll act on what You've said Either way, my mind's been made up for me Either way, it's wearing me thin because Even when, resisting instinctively Even then, I find myself broken and I'm kneeling Defeated I've been exhausted for too long Wide open, so listen When you keep changing This blood has a beat that's running, it's running out My blood has a beat that's running, it's running out Our blood has a beat that's running out Either way, we're threating this carelessly Either way, it's wearing me thin because Even when, resisting instinctively Even then, I find myself broken and I'm kneeling Defeated I'm too exhausted for the long haul And I'm kneeling defeated

A common threat sits in our house They keep on warning me But I'm not always listening And yesterday I heard the news of fire at my doorstep But this morning they're just disputing semantics, disputing semantics Blatantly apparent Necessary illusions, broadcasting… Releasing, persuading, Compliance, Compliance Releasing, persuading, Compliance, Compliance The common threat sits in our house But I feel so far so far removed, removed, removed The common threat sits in our house But I feel so far so far removed Keep the production rolling Please provide us with guidance, with guidance Fake it, amuse me Necessary abusing. Broadcasting… Releasing, persuading, Compliance, Compliance Releasing, persuading, Compliance, Compliance The common threat sits in our house But I feel so far so far removed, removed, removed The common threat sits in our house But I feel so far so far removed Keep the production rolling Keep the production rolling Keep the production rolling Rolling!

I was wrong, but I just can't I won't acknowledge it I couldn't help but to admire Step in a place where nothing else matters at all Suspicion leaked when they called Hail on my head if I tell But maybe I can fix this quick I'll cover up while it's getting closer to me But I can't gauge how much to hide Panicking! Underestimate the risk Overconfidence, overconfidence This time I hit and missed Overconfidence, overconfidence It all depends on the, it all depends on the, it all depends on the, it all depends on the delivery It's coming my way and I'm just hoping to, hoping to survive I'll have them know I'll give them something Something to hold on to They'll never make me scrape Scrape from the bottom of this deep hole My hands are trembling My body is shivering I've been exposed Filtered through a maze of rumored facts All I've withheld coming to the surface Coming to the surface Hailing on me Hailing on me Hailing on me Hailing on me

Seeping in from the outside Interfering with the silence I dropped you off and I headed home But this apartment, it's never felt like my own I took the long way accidentally Searched the place but never did see Somehow I had a feeling that I would find Something that, something that you'd left behind Left behind I'm left with nothing but This cold storm breathing its wind I'm left with nothing but This cold storm breathing its wind Through my window cracks Seeping in from the outside The chilling sound cutting just right Seeping in from the outside Interfering with the silence Seeping in from the outside The chilling sound, it's fitting in just right You always spoke of it And that's exactly what, that's exactly what it is But you're in store for it soon, dear So savor what you've got while you've got it Seeping in from the outside The chilling sound cutting just right Seeping in from the outside Interfering with the silence Another lonely song Wallowing in my own self doubt Another lonely song Wallowing in my own self doubt

So the sun has been going down earlier But my days just keep getting longer Through the noise, hanging for inspiration My eyes getting wider but still None of my questions have answers yet But I'm not deterred from asking them I'll celebrate unaccompanied Discouraged or not It's comforting to hear But then there's other agendas coming into play Distractions keeping us away From the untainted face of expression Disturbing the music's direction Through the noise, hanging for inspiration My eyes getting wider but still None of my questions have answers yet But I'm not deterred from asking them I'll celebrate unaccompanied Discouraged or not Would you turn it up so I can hear? 'Cause it's reassuring when I can hear it Distractions can't keep us away Hanging for inspiration Distractions can't keep us away

Fully unaware, already on route All the way there Follow or lose your way, hurry! Follow or lose your way, hurry! What I don't know leaves me wanting, wanting, wanting, wanting it more I'm ready now more than ever Feeling the shot going through my chest Hurry! Follow or lose your way Hurry! What I don't know leaves me wanting, wanting, wanting, I'm wanting it more Suspense will ruin me Urgency, it's getting the best of me Suspense will ruin me Wanting, wanting, I want it more

There was desire that burned And when the dust had blown away There was a whisper of gold (There was a whisper of gold) No reservation They were expecting for some time There was a whisper of gold (There was a whisper of gold) The streets were filled with all its noise Swelling up so they set up a decoy It didn't matter no one had a clue anyway But they were always second guessing No room for any error Positions in check and the plan underway And impossibly Just barely Just barely slipping by The doors came open just in time They came back running on such a high Open it up lets see what's inside Those involved gathered around But they weren't satisfied Everyone swore that it was All they could find Those involved gathered around But they weren't satisfied No one left satisfied I shift both fit Failure right down the throat Someone here must be holding out Retracing their steps Everyone in the room grilling the next This will surely cost us problems Settle it up see what's left to divide Those involved gathered around But they weren't satisfied Everyone swore that it was All they could find Those involved gathered around But they weren't satisfied No one left satisfied Still craving not yet satisfied What? What will it take? And how long will this take? Still craving not yet satisfied Still craving Still craving Still hungry

I saw you on the fence Whistle of the current's getting louder now Disconnecting Now is the time Just barely hanging by your fingertips Disconnecting Surrounded by your protected shell You better get out, 'cause I can't do this for you This strategy's weaking the design Stalling and dragging your feet way behind Given the circumstances, I won't, I won't let it go Because I remember when You were so convincing Now just procrastinating One more day, one more night Keep it up kid you'll never decide What to say, where to turn, where to go What to say, where to turn, where to go What to say, where to turn, where to go That is something, something I can't say for you That is something, something I can't say for you That is something, something I can't say for you That is something, something I can't say for you That is something, something I can't say

They had finally come to grips And the pieces somehow fit Could it be? Yet something's lingering "What is it?" At first she had her eyes down staring at the floor Uncertain, she lifted them to find the words Shouting from the wall Like a devil on her shoulder reading... In case of fire, leave the area immediately Avoid it, save yourself from any more grief In case of fire, leave the area immediately Avoid it, disappear but please don't jeopardize "What is it? It's wearing me out asking this!" he said "I refuse to be left in the dark I've been ringing out every last drop Ringing out everything that I am It's out for you Everything I am There's no disguise Would you just trust me this time?" He always swore it was... Swearing unconditional And she's ready to call it off "What is it? I'm geting so scared asking this"

The masses said, the masses said The masses said By popular demand Cheer me on now closer to the edge I didn't think I could follow through But I did out of confidence Well, I'm looking at the bigger picture And I figure this one's insignificant enough, right? Compromised, getting used to it Compromises, we're used to it Compromises, we so good at making Let's do it again The sharks came out to play Told us how much to pay And it may not be so grand But we can't have it all But we can't have it all The masses said By popular demand Cheer me on now closer to the edge Unmotivated, not willing enough to resist We'd rather keep it simple, fast, convenient Convenient Compromised, getting used to it Compromises, we're used to it Compromises, we're so good at making Let's do it again But we can't have it all But we can't have it all But we can't have it all But we can't have it all But we can't have it all

I wonder why Lately I've been thinking of a time Product of our surroundings and we help up the sign I loved, I learned, we sang all the words Wednesday mornings we would always sit, sit in the Biggest room And one of those days still in my mind And it's always stayed with me Watching from a distance and someone said She screamed relentlessly from visions she had Just as real to me as it was to you A decade down the line, who knew? Impressionable minds were told I wish I could go back just to know 'Cause it was undeniable All my peers, they seemed so credible And one of those days still in my mind And it's always stayed with me Sunset, sky turning red Fascinated by what he said This boy's in agony from visions he had Speculate intentions and bring the attention to the source Years ago I said a prayer and asked that I would never have to see I'm hardly ever reminded Surely it's because I decided I'm not inviting as often, but every so often But every so often Every so often
