The First Of The Century - Straylight Run

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 its what we all chose

And I yelled to my friends, «It'll all be OK!»

But they didn’t believe me

They still don’t today

They never do anything the 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

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

Barely begun to fight until now

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 alive

And you’ll never

Find us again

You’ll never find us again
