The First of the Century

You know

You can be

The first of

This century

To bleed through

To find truth

To know what

You should do

You know

It could be

Anything

Sometimes (sometimes)

You might find (you might find)

A crack or (a crack or)

A fault line (a fault line)

But dressed down (but dressed down)

Or made up (or made up)

You'll find (you'll find)

A real love (a real love)

A place to

Come home to

At night

So what did we pay for

And why did we care?

What were we after

And why was it there?

Desire gave way to a false sense of hope

And we fell for the lie that it's what we all chose

And I yell to my friends

It will all be okay

But they didn't believe me

They still don't today

They never do anything they haven't before

In the same solid room with no lock on the door

And over and over and over again

The same failed solutions to all the same problems

Scream why, why I can't understand

Why the things that I do never go as I plan

And the vultures begin

They're some circling

The dogs lick their teeth

Bright white and gleaming

But just hold yours up

We've barely begun

To fight something else, so

Let's see what you've got

This wide open shot

Take it or leave it

'Cause we're getting out

We're getting out of here

And you'll never find us again

You'll never find us again
