Here we are with burning skin Where we've always been And we all collide In the rising tide Then weather in the wind
We live our lives Like hands are tied And dead in days of dreaming Embrace the race Of every days But forsake the feeling
Are we killing time While these days unwind?
We can't see past our own sad stories And wonder what we're missing We can't see past our own sad stories And forget how to listen
But did there ever come a time When things weren't so defined? We've given new names To our hopes and our pain But love just gets harder to find
We wrestle with what we think we should say And hang ourselves out in the air But most of the time I think you'll find That we're just pretending to care
And it's a crying shame How we get so trained
We can't see past our own sad stories And wonder what we're missing We can't see past our own sad stories And forget how to listen
We can't see past our own sad stories And wonder what we're doing We can't see past our own sad stories And forget who it is we're fooling
Well, here we are with burning skin Where we've always been
