Distress Rehearsal

Practice devastation

Play it all out in your mind

Feel the light as it hits your face

Of the apocalypse streamlined

Envision obliteration

Every last detail

Blast wind blows, breathe it in, let it go

A tragedy that's so big, it cannot fail

I've done it so many times

I've got the future memorized

I can feel the ache in their eyes

The mourning's amplified

Mourning's amplified

So imagine my surprise

Imagine my surprise

I was not prepared for this, no

I had not expected this so

I must try to cope with wasted

Time killed by an agonizing lie

Agonizing lie

Agonizing lie

A hypothetical horror show

But now there's beauty all around me

What's happening? (What's happening?)

What's happening? (What's happening?)

Now I'm left with all this lightness

Now I'm left with all this lightness

Left out here with all this lightness

Left out here with all this grace

Imagine my surprise

I thought my heart would break

I thought it would break but it started healing

It was more than I could take

So I gave it everything

I thought I'd never wake

It got so dark that I started dreaming

It was more than I could take

So I gave it all I had left

I was not prepared for this, no

I had not expected this so

I must try to cherish all this time

Time, time

Lose your life and you will find it

Lose your life and you will find it

Lose your life and you will find it waiting in her merciful eyes

All sins absolved

And they will never look back

All sins absolved

And they will never look back

Master without his master plan
