Have you been afloat on the water?
Would you know if the boat is sinking?
And I can tell the future --
What a place to be...
But I know that we're just
Getting started
Let me tell you one more time:
They say "oh what a time to be alive, can you tell by the screams in place of gentle sighs."
And we say "oh don't you know? You built the door with your comfort in the war."
Have you been alone, lost forever?
Would you know if someone was at your door?
And I can see it clearly --
But with no chance you'll hear
Still I know that we're just
Getting started
Let me tell you one last time:
They say "oh what a time to be alive, can you tell by the screams in place of gentle sighs."
And we say "oh don't you know? You built the door with your comfort in the war."
They say "oh what a time to be alive, can you tell by the screams in place of gentle sighs."
And we say "oh don't you know? You built the door with your comfort long ago."
I am the one who breath
Blows off the dust from those who sleep
They can hear it
When they dream
I can only hope.
In such a place
Take me to the altar of pop and let me drown
I tremble in the presence of that which brings me down
Take me to the altar of pop and let me be
Feed me truth that shakes my sacred creeds
Would you know my bones
If your cuts reached
The very core of what makes me
A human being
Can you hear it beat?
A hundred hearts besides me…
I can only hope
For such a place
Take me to the altar of pop and let me drown
I tremble in the presence of that which brings me down
Take me to the altar of pop and let me bleed
And everything I have I’ll give for free
Would I even fly
If I grew wings
Or would my face twist
Like demons bound
In iron rings
Do they sob or sing?
I can only hope
In such a place
Take me to the altar of pop and let me drown
I tremble in the presence of that which brings me down
Take me to the altar of pop and let me see
Show me who I’m never going to be
