Lyrics

None of you seem to understand
I’m not locked in here with you.
You’re locked in here with me
Why do I need this so badly?
Is this my act’s finale?
It comes to me like water in death valley
The abyss stares right through me
Where did the last five years of my life go?
Where did they go?
How did I end up in this hole
Adorned in thorns and bones?
The child in me, overexposed
My eyes, oh, my eyes!
And then the water dried up in the ocean
And then I knew I was drowning
In this world where we are grains of sand
A drop of water is all we have
So we savor it all until it’s gone
I think you’ve been afraid for your whole life
When people looking in from the outside
Impending peril, I hear them drumming
Black lungs and beaten sons — I know what’s coming
I have never been so alone
This life is yours to atone
Too young to face demise
Will your values see the next sunrise?
Why won’t you answer me?
You f***ing coward
Get on your knees
And then the water dried up in the ocean
And then I knew I was drowning
And when all the hope I had was gone
I knew I’d only last so long
And like an anchor falling from the sky
I hit the bottom
Part of the dream that’s due in time
They’re building bridges for us now
Why do we think we’re living a lie?
The fear — the regret —
For lives we have left behind
Not knowing what’s next in time
We’re done running
This time we’re going to stand our ground
No respect. No hope. No home
We’re screaming out loud
