For so long I've stared at brighter lights Now I must be a sight Stumbling through the darkness staring through these concrete eyes Now I see its no comfort, just to say you tried I will stand here listening until you do decide To say what you want from me I can't do this alone, as you know How long must I wait, for you to show I hear them calling out my name They won't rest so I'm begging you to say what you want from me I won’t sleep, til hear you speak Say what you will your servants listening Here I’ll stay through dark and day Until you see and give me my new name Say what you want from me

For years you’ve stood in a cage of your own minds design Weathered storms and all the harms that come from the inside Lock the door and pace the floor, they can’t find you anymore Said if you can’t win then you just won’t keep store Lead the way for your escape Throw yourself away Everything decays This life that you’ve wasted will be gone someday Til its all just empty space Tell me what have you to show For every line that you wrote Until the air gets thin and your breathing slows I’ve read this story before, someone who never wants more Til the air gives out and then you choke You can’t get something for nothing

Bet you never knew, these songs I sing I sing mostly for you It just feels like you’re always on my mind These are just temporary angles, toward a more permanent shape, the light curving around the straight lines of your perfect face and I’m signaling with sound, up to you from on the ground hoping you’ll come down soon cause I can’t stand the wait Wonder if you knew, would it mean a thing to you, Would you turn around, and offer me your hand Still you pass me by just like the thinnest air I can barely breath without you breathe without you here Oh bet you never knew these songs I sing, I sing mostly for you Cause to me you’ll always be perfect Alone here I wait, for you to show Pretending like I don't, know you know I look up to the sun and burn my eyes Its done me no good to see that high

I've heard you promise what we need to feel complete Emptiness pervades and its you that holds the key We have been held captive by the emeralds in our eyes Who will pay the ransom is it even worth the price? Your lies have tried to dim our eyes Can we not see beyond today? So clever you have become, endeavor with silver tongue To take forever away You say its fine, we’ll make it better if you just give in and buy Don’t say you understand til you see the world through both our eyes It seems our reasons verge, on treason for not wanting, more than what we have But who decided that, all that life is what you do and what you have

Oh wouldn’t you know we’re back here again Out in the streets just to see who’ll give in So familiar the scene like a song on repeat I can’t stand one single beat Conflict creates character no other way will do The people need an enemy we’ll make one out of you And you’ll know how this will end When you say its us or them Oh this is madness to bleed out our own When no ones left standing we’ll see just How we were wrong They are nothing like us at all, It means nothing to us if.. ..they fall down forgotten while we write history Truly we know our enemy All you can say, its not about hate,we only fight cause we’re right (And all you can say, it was not about hate) We never made anyone choose, We only drew the lines (We only fight, because we’re right) Its all about names, who you belong to (We’ve drawn the lines, so hurry up its time to chose) The black the blue the red or the white (the red or the white, the black or blue and every) When its over we’ll see the right side (side against every side) I think I know how this ends When all that we have left is our friends While we’re holding hands then we’ll turn a suspicious Eye towards them and see our new villain And we’ll fight until theres no one left All of this madness and we’ve nothing to show, Trapped inside your apartheid has laid us low and all you can say…. It was not about hate We won the fight because we were right We drew the lines, everybody came to choose the red or the white, the black or blue and every side against every side

Innocent naivete We flipped the switch, and walked away The factory's empty and we've all gone to sleep But who watches the machine We stare at diamond skies and don't see their worth The moons a streetlight and the sun is a curse I signed a letter hoping they'd make me strong But I'm feeling weaker and more scared I was wrong Stay with me, I'll make it alright When you fall asleep, I'll eat you alive And you'll never know, our asking price Take a drink, let it calm your mind If you want to see, I'll be your eyes And you'll never know, what lies burning inside

You’ve stretched me to transparency Just to say you see right through me The advantage that you press, is a weight on my chest Its holding me down for the guillotine How you drip slow inside me A cold rush to core of my veins Shuts me down silently Til I am not feeling feeling a thing Here am I left stagnant kept by frozen vines You swear its just to keep me safe that they’re so intertwined It wouldn’t be the first time that you lied If I’m to blame for all of this Then trust me given half a chance I’d pull wire from wrist To cleanse my heart and bleed to death To purge me of this mistake, Pour out the plans that you’ve made To bleed out on this floor and lie here awake Trapped with you kept inside (we know whats best for you) Watched by these blurry outlines (you’ll see you silly fool) You’re killing me you’re killing me (just what we’re waiting for) By keeping me here in this room Sleep won’t you come, pull the curtain to on all I’ve done And keep me in this room, a cold familiar tomb For only one I’m growing cold from these fluid-filled wires And I blame you for all that’s transpired And these hospital sheets couldn’t keep me warm if I was on fire

Give it up, run hide get out of the way Anything just to stay safe Anything to not be afraid Paralyzed, a satellite frozen in space Motionless unwavering gaze Clueless to its blistering pace All this time, bracing against this awful tide Just to take a place in line And test my fate Slowly still dragging my feet along the floor Leaning against the heaviest door Hoping it gives way When you see more day than night And feel entitled to the light You don’t mind the sacrifice Or the price you pay Now that things don’t seem so safe And you feel so far from day you wish that you had saved what you gave away All this time, bracing against this awful tide Just to take a place in line And test my fate Slowly still feeling the weight of all these years Leaning against the heaviest gears Hoping they give way

Down to the last inch with dirt in your teeth clinched tight Everyones watching, won’t you give them a sight I don’t believe that you can do this all on your own You might not last the night No one remembers the ones who were too scared to try So now that you’re leaving, tell me where will you sleep All this deceiving, now you’ve dug down too deep I don’t believe you can do this all on your own See you on the way down Forgive me for saying so but I don’t think you know how far down you’ve thrown yourself Standing firm on sinking sand, holding tight with dirty hands You keep digging deeper still Is it worth the fight, can you last the night Can you dig your own way out You don’t stand a chance just give me your hand Can’t you see you’re too far down
