lyrics

One step becomes another
Before I know it I’m on my way
Will I see the faint line
Or will it be too late?

To break my fall / To remain whole

Those who have gone before me
Have already lost their sense of smell
Rushing into the darkness
Flying headlong into Hell

We break our selves / When we want to be whole

I want to shut my eyes, say we can still turn back
But a lie can’t carry us home
When love is trampled down, dressed like a circus clown
And we kill our souls to run from death

Welcome to the modern religion
Where the only sin is to say no
We are objects, cut up and scattered
And innocence is a fuel to burn

But it won’t keep us warm / and it won’t calm the storm

There’s no escape from the ultimate cold
But still we try to mortgage our souls
Trade it all just to stay entertained
While the whole thing’s going down in flames

La da da, la da da da singing / La da da, da da da da da da da
La da da, la da da da singing / La da da, da da da da da da da

There’s one more chance / to take your hand

I want to shut my eyes, say we can still turn back
But a lie can’t carry us home
When love is trampled down, dressed like a circus clown
And we kill our souls to run from death

I know there’s something more
I know there’s something more
I know there’s something more
I hope there’s something more
