As the sound escapes from my ears
My eyes, my sight.
They all betray me. Who would forgive this world?
I know they're not what they had hoped to become.
Day after day, these gray walls stare back at me.
Telling me that I'm not alone.
Year after year, my mind fades out and I can't believe this is really happening.
We are the lifeless. We are the lost
This is the reason there's air to breathe.
That makes our hearts beat.
We are the lifeless. We are the lost.
There's no turning back from here.
There's no turning back.
Come in closer and whisper darkness.
Tell me nothing now that I want to hear.
All These lies burn my ears and scream out for silence.
Your eyes speak loud enough to keep our tongues tied.
Building walls to keep us out.
These bricks laid to rest, can't silence our voice.
Conversing through cracked windows.
Communicating through the broken glass.
Lights shine through the holes in the ceiling.
Opening paths and forcing us blind..
We have lost our strength to speak.
A beautiful thief can slip through your fingers
Leave your heart in your hands and bring you to your knees.
But torn and marked up by the scars of the broken
They'll shine through a crowd like a beacon at sea.
Conversing through open windows.
Communicating through the painted glass.
Light shines through the break in the clouds.
Opening doors.
They'll shine through a crowd like a beacon at sea.
