Straylight Run - The First Of The Century lyrics

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

Now sometimes

You might find

A crack or a fault line

But dressed down

Or made up

You'll find 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 "It'll all be okay!"

But they didn't believe me and 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

They scream "Why? Why? I can't understand'

And why the things that I do never go as I've planned!"

And the vultures begin their slow circling

The dogs lick their teeth bright white and gleaming

But just hold your tongue we've barely begun

To fight until now

So lets see what you've got

This wide open shot take it or leave it

Because we're getting out! We're getting out alive!

And you'll never find us again! You'll never find us again!
