Should I scrape up my knees Or go back to sleep? Should I push further still Or bury my will again? The clothes in the dresser I pull out the drawers What's hidden beneath The start of all my wars Call it the human condition Bury it Finally out of attention Did you cherish it? Can I speak for myself Or drown in the wealth of silence? Have you hidden your heart? I'm tearing apart again Call it the human condition Bury it Finally out of attention Did you cherish it? Call it the human condition Bury it Finally out of attention Did you cherish it? We're lost and we don't know it

Faith Is it something I'll feel My heart won't beat still Til I know your name Mirror Inside of my mind I struggle to find The holes in my heart Held out hand Filled up with Beholding a mystery Answer me I'm falling apart Speak slowly your art A whispers all I want Grab hold of my sign Speak to me reasons why You're high above all that there is And I'm falling in circles Held out hand Filled up with Beholding a mystery All I want to know is if I'm on the right path

Door Opens 05:12
I see a form taking shape Rusted halo on the ground I see a sheet draped over a man with the eyes cut out On all fours head in the clouds He crawls slowly down the hallway Reaching his hands, sliding them along the walls Lifting them up with each picture he dusts off He looks to his left to see the counter where his wife left her ring He leaves a mess for all to see his pain He's all but gone and no one knows his name They don't know his name It's bright outside So he takes his clothes off and walks slowly out the door He can feel himself touch the ground As the dry leaves crinkle beneath his bare feet Again he crawls slowly down the hallway Reaching his hands, sliding them along the walls Lifting them up with each picture he dusts off He looks to his left to see the counter where his wife left her ring I leave a mess for all to see my pain I'm all but gone and no one knows my name They don't know my name A door opens A door closes With a violent rush of wind A door opens With a violent rush of wind

I felt the arrow in my heart I tasted poison in my skin Should have known that at the end of it all I could never count on you again Lost my body lost my voice Lost the cage you named me in Gouge my eyes out just for fun I won't get stuck on you again Won't get stuck again Stuck again I FELT THE ARROW IN MY HEART TASTED POISON IN MY SKIN I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT AT THE END OF IT ALL WON'T EVER COUNT ON YOU AGAIN LOSE YOUR BODY LOSE YOUR VOICE LOSE THE CAGE THEY NAMED YOU IN GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT JUST FOR FUN I WON'T GET STUCK ON YOU AGAIN WON'T GET STUCK AGAIN WON'T GET STUCK AGAIN

I see three men in a field Standing there with nothing left to feel Is there something more? He exposed our eyes to things we couldn't see The hearts he held were struggling to breathe Again I shave my head We can see the evidence Boiling underneath the surface Was it really heaven sent Backseat driving wasn't worth it So I noticed we're drifting away Who'd have know that every word you'd say Mistaken for something real Can we be friends If I can sense the end I hold it all underneath my breath Will it all amount to nothing? We can see the evidence Boiling underneath the surface Was it really heaven sent Backseat driving wasn't worth it And we never thought that this would ever end Correcting hearts by breaking brain again All for love Fall on your knees Beg for answers beg for ransom please And save our family Water into gold Turn this Water into gold
