lyrics

I watched my world go grey
As my heart gave out yesterday
And I am not far behind

Well it's too late to dream
But, it's too early to sleep
The calm's as rough as the storm

Making haste, losing days
Flying by at a snail's pace
Blink twice as it all fades away

But I've been here before
I've seen my walls
Crumble down

So if you think you've won
I'm not done
I'll stand my ground
This time around

And you say it's a disease without a cure
But I know, it's just how you see the world

Looking up with those big eyes
Full of fear, terrified
Angry little memories putting up a fight

Voices raised, words in flames
Back and forth like a child's game
And I'm never gonna make it out alive

But I built my strength
Then in you came
To tear it down

But I will break these walls
Your world will fall
Without a sound
This time around

(Guitar solo)

And I want to wonder where the world will take me next
And I want to know if I'd be better off alone
