Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Timber shakes these trails, they are derailed
Phony, false, and frail
An empty ocean
Lost our way with no direction home
Gold needles, names we take in vain
Find it harder to remain
No, nothing's sacred
Still waitin' on that explanation
[Verse 2]
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
Uh-huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind
Uh-huh
[Verse 3]
Hold her dirty hands over the flames
Gettin' pleasure from the pain
Softly screamin', the pistol that you raised has spoken
Gold needles, names we take in vain
Find it harder to remain
Nothing's sacred
Still waitin' on that explanation
[Verse 4]
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
Uh-huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind
Uh-huh
[Verse 5]
Everything I thought I knew fell to the side
Time went on and on, I couldn't see past my own eyes
Past my eyes
Past my eyes
Past my eyes
[Verse 6]
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
Uh-huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind
Uh-huh
