This place has seen the faces Of souls who've ceased their paces Bound by the shackles that weigh them down We need to break This fucking chain When everyone knows in the end Once you go you can never come home Where home is the fire that will keep you from cold, cold, cold, cold Its not the end worth fighting for Its who you meet on the way to the door So now I know, I suppose, I can keep it closed The endless days of climbing Leave troubles all behind me The thread that weaves the dream is all but gone The closer to the top The more my heart drops To the bottom where they all said we could not live Once you go you can always come home, home, home, home Its not the end worth fighting for Its who you meet on the way to the door So now I know, I supposed, I can keep it closed Its not the end worth fighting for Its who you meet on the way to the door Its been a lifetime, its been a lifetime I wonder what's on the other side Its not the end worth fighting for Its who you meet on the way to the door So now I know, I suppose, I can keep it closed

The day has come at last The day has come the time at last What will be will always clash With what you see when your mind unfolds You've been dealt a hand of gold I've been told to look forward, not back I'm keeping track of all the times you said That you'd be there until the end Well where are you now? Where are you now? As my dreams crash down What will I have left? Still I'm waiting, always waiting as time goes by Yet I'm alright My hands are tied to the face of the clock And I'm stuck, stuck, stuck when the hands stop The anticipation's killing me Never leaves, never leaves, never leaves me alone My thoughts begin to multiply I cannot live inside my mind Halloucinations showing me What I see, what I see, what do I see? As the waves crash down And you find what's left Only then will you temper what you expect Still I'm waiting always waiting as time goes by Yet I'm not alright No more waiting, I'm not waiting, Waiting for anything any more Woah, woah, woah, woah As the waves crash down And you find what's left Only then will you temper what you expect (What did you expect?) I thought this day would never come (What did you expect?) I built glass castles in my head (What did you expect?) A crack, a crack I fear has found A hole inside my castle now And it will come down, but I'll be on my way I've been chased by these notions Of what my life's supposed to be I walk the trail of my own shadows To myself they're leading me The rut's grown deep I'm sick of climbing From the depths of so-called "dreams" You see the things I hold most dearly Are never quite as they may seem I've been chased by these notions Of what my life's supposed to be I walk the trail of my own shadows To myself they're leading me

Oh my a crooked line An intersection of two separate minds Head down with your nose up Like you're sickened and I'm sick and contagious I'm not contagious I don't need your approval you can think again I long for you to see what's driving me To turn every stone, make my way along the road unknown Don't take the beaten path You will never last On the straight and narrow When all you do is what's been done You draw yourself into the sun Your search for warmth brings fire down Nobody makes a sound its contagious So contagious The city crumbles under embers just to be born again I long for you to see what's driving me To turn every stone, make my way along the road unknown Don't take the beaten path You will never last On the straight and narrow Da da da da da I long for you to see what's driving me To turn every stone, make my way along the road unknown Don't take the beaten path You will never last On the straight and narrow

I jump to inconclusive conclusions So lost and disillusioned Through my eyes you'd see the choices made Always have such big mistakes I face my life avoiding fate When chances come I hesitate I'll wait always searching for something more I'll search for what I had before Stay, you've already found it Nothing is perfect What isn't perfect is perfect as it is So take a good look around at the things you have found And all of the time you've spent Working for them Don't waste away waiting for a better day Time, there is never enough time Can't help but analyze Every thought I think the words I say My mind is leading me astray I waste away for better days I dig and dig and dig my grave I'll wait in a tomb that keeps me to myself I'm always craving something else Stay you've already found it Nothing is perfect What isn't perfect is perfect as it is So take a good look around at the things you have found And all of the time you've spent Working for them Don't waste away waiting for a better day The show's not over 'til the curtain's drawn The stage is empty the crowd's all gone The ground we move, by the steps we take In the end, our memories make Woah, woah, woah, woah The show's not over 'til the curtain's drawn The stage is empty the crowd's all gone The ground we move, by the steps we take In the end, our memories make
