The First Of The Century

歌詞

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 yelled to my friends, "You'll all be okay!" But they didn't believe me, they still don't today And they never do anything they haven't before In the same solemn 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 planned And the vultures begin Their slow circling The dogs lick their teeth Bright, white, and gleaming But just hold your sun We've barely begun to fight until now 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, oh And you'll never find us again No, never find us again
