Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't blame you, I can't save you
But I will try for you and I, for you and I
Won't find out all the dirty little things that you've done
But I will try, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
I'm comin' for you, giants, and you liars, and your chariots of fire
You charmers with the anecdotes have started to show your true colors
[Verse 3]
And now I'm starin' at the moon, wonderin' why the bottom fell out
Been searchin' for answers, and there's questions I've found
Open your eyes and share this burden somehow
You ready to drink or are you waitin' to drown?
[Verse 4]
I would break you before I let you
Fall into the blind, you and I, you and I
Will breathe in all the truth I can stomach
If it keeps you alive, ah, ah
[Verse 5]
We've seen the dreamers and the preachers
And the wisemen on the hill
To concrete steppin' smilers terrified to lose their power and control
We've been cryin' for a leader to speak like the old prophets
The blood of the forgotten wasn't spilled without a purpose, or was it?
[Verse 6]
And now I'm starin' at the moon, wonderin' why the bottom fell out
Been searchin' for answers, and there's questions I've found
Open your eyes and share this burden somehow
You ready to drink or are you waitin' to drown?
[Verse 7]
Yeah, you'll never be whole, yeah, you'll never be whole
Until you lose control and think freely to smash the wall of apathy
Stop your self-importance and lift the weight off somebody else
[Verse 8]
Yeah, you'll never be whole, yeah, you'll never be whole
Until you lose control and stop drinkin' the wine that's been drippin'
From lips of the gluttons and envyin' their bloody teeth
[Verse 9]
Yeah, you'll never be whole, yeah, you'll never be whole
Until you lose control
