Lyrics

[00:00.48] None of you seem to understand,
[00:04.16] I'm not locked in here with you..
[00:06.26] You're locked in here with me.
[00:09.61] Why do I need this so badly?
[00:12.89] Is this my act's finale?
[00:15.97] It comes to me like water in death valley,
[00:19.73] The abyss stares right through me.
[00:23.42] Where did the last five years of my life go?
[00:33.07] Where did they go?
[00:34.90] How did I end up in this hole,
[00:38.83] adorned in thorns and bones?
[00:42.61] The child in me, overexposed.
[00:46.79] My eyes, oh, my eyes!
[00:54.96] And then the water dried up in the ocean,
[01:01.18] and then I knew I was drowning.
[01:03.66] In this world where we are grains of sand,
[01:07.15] a drop of water is all we have.
[01:09.98] So we savor it all until it's gone.
[01:17.65] I think you've been afraid for your whole life,
[01:21.24] When people looking in from the outside.
[01:25.87] Impending peril, I hear them drumming.
[01:29.94] Black lungs and beaten sons - I know what's coming.
[01:35.84] I have never been so alone.
[01:39.28] This life is yours to atone.
[01:43.08] Too young to face demise,
[01:46.45] Will your values see the next sunrise?
[01:54.29] Why won't you answer me?
[01:58.31] You ******* coward,
[02:00.40] Get on your knees.
[02:02.21] Why won't you answer me?
[02:05.27] You ******* coward,
[02:06.49] Get on your knees.
[02:12.90] And then the water dried up in the ocean,
[02:19.34] and then I knew I was drowning.
[02:21.91] And when all the hope I had was gone,
[02:25.44] I knew I'd only last so long.
[02:28.57] And like an anchor falling from the sky,
[02:33.39] I hit the bottom.
[02:35.85] Part of the dream that's due in time.
[02:41.15] They're building bridges for us now.
[02:43.90] Why do we think we're living a lie?
[02:51.64] The fear - the regret -
[02:53.56] For lives we have left behind.
[02:56.09] Not knowing what's next in time.
[03:01.07] We're done running.
[03:05.47] This time we're going to stand our ground.
[03:09.56] No respect. No hope. No home.
[03:13.40] We're screaming out loud.
[03:17.71] We're done running.
[03:21.57] This time we're going to stand our ground.
[03:25.64] No respect. No hope. No home.
[03:29.54] We're screaming out loud.
