Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They never taught us how to love

So use our pain, to comfort us

And we never practice what we preach

Instead we find, someone else to teach

[Verse 2]

We try not to see with our eyes

We fill our plates, with dozens of lies

And we try so hard to keep it in

We turn away, from what lies within

[Verse 3]

We are splintered and we are rotten

Deep within the walls that we've forgotten

All the answers to all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

[Verse 4]

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 5]

We're so afraid to be alone

So we hoard our pain, and call it home

They never taught us how to look inside

Only how to run and how to dry our eyes

[Verse 6]

We dig ourselves into a ditch

How many of us die, and pretend to live

We stop the light from leaking in

When we turn away, from the lights within

[Verse 7]

We are splintered and we are rotten

Deep within the walls that we've forgotten

All the answers to all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

[Verse 8]

We are splintered and we are rotten

Deep under the floorboards, we've forgotten

But all the answers, to all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

[Verse 9]

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
