Some days, I know who I am
And I know what I see
When I could feel the table
And then I know what is real
But it's gone in a flash
I become a parallel
There's an identity intact
But of who, I just can't tell
Because it's just not me
I become someone else
Sadness becomes anger
And I lose all control
Do you know what it's like
To create your own hell

But it's almost something else
To feel such emotion
To forgo all your senses
And just lose all yourself
For a moment, you're engrossed
You can hear it like a sound
You can watch it as it grows
To harness something real
But could you control it
And prevent from lashing out
Or would you struggle
And simply just explode
Emotions are a force
But would your grip truly hold

So maybe I push people away
Yeah, maybe I'm waiting
I beg for you not to stay
Claiming that I'd just hurt you
The fact is that I'm waiting for her
Even though it won't happen
Maybe I need a voice of reason
I don't really know though
Maybe I need someone to shove in
Just force me to fall in love with them

My chest just grieves and my stomach should heave
But my smile just creeps to see the bodies in the street
'Cause welcome to the world that you layed at your feet
You can see the sickness in their eyes and the children as they weep
And you're just a fool if for a second you believe
That the fault would be anyone's but yours and me
For herding the young like cattle at the steep
Of the mountain, off the cliff we shove them off with a leap
And a scream of God save me please
Oh lord just give me peace

And the world will never be the same when we leave our mark
When we break it's veins, and create red rain
The oceans will boil with the blood of the ******
        And we'll all be condemned, when we take our toll        
                 We'll make our amends when we hear the bells                  
The skies will rumble with the cries of man

Can you believe the way we treat these things
Like it's a bunch of stupid trivial dreams
That to change is an impossible thing
Like emotions ablaze and we create new means
To wage war in unconventional ways
As we break apart and fall into seas
Because after we've finished what's left to dream
And in God I just can't believe
So I won't scream God save me please
Afterall your lord can't bring me peace

And the world will never be the same when we leave our mark
When we break it's veins, and create red rain
The oceans will boil with the blood of the ******
        And we'll all be condemned, when we take our toll        
                 We'll make our amends when we hear the bells                  
The skies will rumble with the cries of man

And what's left at the end, after all has been said
It's just lies that they want you to believe
That the schools and hospitals and trees are all alive
And not just crisp and burnt to a tee
Oh, just inhale the ashes that burn as we breathe
The fires he saw what made your darling scream
Gone are the ways you always raised your child
With the neighbours and family and the dreams
Here is the time that the war is alive
And it ever wants little Steve
They carry your child away crying God save me please
And all you can ask is oh lord just give him peace

And the world will never be the same when we leave our mark
When we break it's veins, and create red rain
The oceans will boil with the blood of the ******
And we'll all be condemned, when we take our toll
We'll make our amends when we hear the bells
The skies will rumble with the cries of man

There was her hair and it looked to me so perfect
And there were her eyes as they looked at me slowly
Her voice in my ears; her hand on my arm
It's the day I remember, her smile shook the sky
Could she see the way I felt and thought
I couldn't just hide it with all of my might
After all, she had been the one
That opened all the doors to the idea of love
But here we were just sitting, talking
And that was as far as I'd know

It wasn't for lack of wanting
But maybe just lack of need
A boy with a mind so hopeless
I was someone she just couldn't see
She always knew I was there though
And she even almost chose me
But eleven months to the day she said no
And two years and a half I've loved her
It doesn't matter, I'd rather still be alone
Then find anyone else besides her

He left us alone with all of our thoughts
Broke was my heart by God
Making these moments so distraught
Oh, The things he'd say
Oh, this was not the way we were made
But you created us
Why can't He just see
If you leave us alone to ourselves
We'll just burn it all down
