Know Hope - Deadlights

On the stage in front of the thousands,

In the sky from the top of the mountains,

Say what you want, but don't hold your breath.

I hope you can't sleep without my voice in your head.

I don't know what made your mind so vague,

You lie through your teeth just to get through the day

Whatever Helps you rest your weary head

I may not be by your side when we reach the end.

By your side at the end.

I'm sick of seeing all these Judges without wigs,

Walking around in their street clothes,

They don't know how to bite their tongues.

I'm holding back on it all,

You're all fools to think that I'd fall.

For your fair weathered ways,

Another mark on the wall.

You're as jaded as the stone,

Thick From brain to bone

I can see you looking down on me,

I can hear your snide remarks.

And on the day, I call you out,

You'll be hiding in the dark.

I would like to know but not be told by you,

If we're really free why should we have to do

Why should I do what everybody else does?

You're all hiding in the dark.

I bet you've picked me apart and

Learnt all of my flaws.

You tell me mine and

I'll tell you yours.

I know hope is lost when I see your eyes

Looking down,

Whatever makes you sleep at night.

Here's a piece of my mind,

For peace of mind.

I am everything you can't control.

Burning bridges will take its toll.

I can see you looking down on me,

I can hear your snide remarks.

And on the day, I call you out,

You'll be hiding in the dark.

I would like to know what made you think I was a

Bad man, I gave you second chances.

Why should I do what everybody else does?

You're all hiding in the dark.

On the stage in front of the thousands,

In the sky from the top of the mountains,

Say what you want, but don't hold your breath.

I hope you can't sleep without my voice in your head.

I won't be the one you turn to.
