lyrics

I closed my eyes to see something great. The sun can barely pierce the clouds and a single beam shows through the rubble. And I can hardly stand the mumble. Under the rain. It stands under a shade. We came through and robbed the town, took everything for ourselves. We remain the same. But not the same you knew before. Grasp tight. We'll lose each other. Lets keep what we've lost. I'll keep my hands off of my eyes. My own will see the light. I'll look up one day, see you in the sky. Wondering if I was the reason you got stuck up there. High in the sky. I closed my eyes to see what's there.

I saw a stranger across the hall.
To never know another's faults.
I want to believe that everyone is playing along.
But there's still a great big wall

When appearances are so high
Blissful is the prize.
We're losing the touch
It happened abrupt
When things come to an end.
2x -To capture
Appear
Blank skin faces
no mirrors.

It's all superficial
The ways you keep yourselves in line
I can see that you're really trying
Tell me what they're hiding.
Why are they hiding?

You've always been talking. Seems like you love the sound of your own voice
I know they all love it. They're all just a bunch of porcelain toys.

It's all an empty shell
Feel the emptiness
The propped walls have started to break
Crumbling down. Create the mess
But you break like glass

You're just an empty shell
I feel your emptiness
Your propped walls have started to break
You're crumbling down. You created your mess
Ambiguous, the way things act
The way you act
