Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're waiting for something to happen
But nothing is snapping us out of this trance
Our eyelids are heavy and soon we're all ready
To obey every single command
But I feel lost
No map in front of me
And I don't know which way is up
Wishing we could just hit pause
Just enough to breathe
[Verse 2]
(Why can't I shake you awake from this dream?)
I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves?
Are we just talking to ourselves?
[Verse 3]
So good at speaking out of turn
And talking back, I have some nerve
If I said this all to your face
Forgive me
Sometimes I forget my place
[Verse 4]
So what's it going to be
Will you dig in or give up
Lean in or just get lost?
Drift away from here
This demands your attention
So hear me when I say
[Verse 5]
I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves
Are we just talking to ourselves?
[Verse 6]
What are we trying to say?
[Verse 7]
Tell me what it would take to pry open their eyes
I would wade in the water, I'll stand in the fire
I am not afraid
[Verse 8]
I would break down the door if you give me the sign
For the chance to be yours I would lay down my life
I am not afraid
[Verse 9]
I swear I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves?
Are we talking to ourselves?
