Closer Than We Think

What’s it gonna take for me?

I’m on my hands and knees

While all the poets fill pages of loose leaf

I feel cheap and I feel empty

We will bathe in the sea of disbelief

But we will not go quickly

No we will not die so easily

And I knew that this would happen, it always does

And I couldn’t stop my reaction so I let it come

I let it come

I still hold the belief that we are free

That we don’t need the rules to see

That despite what we’ve done we’re not alone

We’re closer than we think to home

It didn’t take me long to believe that I could do

anything

We turn the songs up loud so we can sing

I am true and I am living

We will walk through the valley of the shadow of the

boring

and burn it all

No we will not go quietly

And I knew that this would happen, it always does

And I couldn’t stop my reaction so I let it come

I let it come

I still hold the belief that we are free

That we don’t need the rules to see

That despite what we’ve done we’re not alone

We’re closer than we think to home,

to home, to home, to home, to home, to home, to home,

to home.

Across the water you call me, but I’m not listening as

I sink down

Water fills my lungs as I begin to drown

I knew that this would happen.
