A Revelation

How could you see
Everything that we
Have tied to keep has come undone?
We've been waiting here so long
How could you say (How could you say)
"Forever's in our way"?
Could you say "I feel we've been waiting here so long"?

Breathe in deep
I'm dreaming but I'm not sleeping

For the first time in my life
I could open up my eyes
Without a sound - without a sound

Wake up - wake up
The fire alarm's going off around the room
So enamored with it you'd burn us all again
Come on - come on
It's over now
Cast aside the ghosts that swear we're all we are to be
Oh, why can't you...

See they need
Or what they know is outside our window?

See this abyss?
(Here's the catch)
Were you sorrier for the rest who need a revelation?

I can't take it - oh, we're raising hell
(I know - I know - they won't change a thing)
I can't take this burning down...
(I know - I know - they won't change a thing)
Oh, you can't stop the pain - oh, you need some company
(For you - all for you)
