Closer Than We Think

What's it gonna take for me,
On my hands and knees.
Where are the poet's filled pages of loose leaf?
I feel cheap and I feel empty. (I feel empty)
We will bathe in a sea of disbelief,
But we will not go quickly.
No we will not die so easily.

And I knew that this would happen,
It always does.
And I couldn't stop my reaction,
So I let it come.
I let it come.

I still hold the belief,
That we are free.
That we don't need the rules to see.
That despite what we've done,
We're not alone.
We're closer than we think to home.

It didn't take me long to believe that I could do anything.
Turn the songs up loud so we can sing.
I am true and I am living (I am living)
And we will walk through the valley of the shadow of the boring,
And burn it all.
No, we will not go quietly.

And I knew that this would happen,
It always does.
And I couldn't stop my reaction,
So I let it come.
I let it come.

I still hold the belief,
That we are free.
That we don't need the rules to see.
That despite what we've done,
We're not alone.
We're closer than we think to home.

To home, To home,
To home, To home,
To home, To home,
To home.

Across the water,
You call me, but I'm not listening,
As I sink down, (sink down)
Water fills my lungs as I begin to drown.

I knew that this would,

I still hold the belief,
That we are free.
That we don't need the rules to see.
That despite what we've done,
We're not alone.
We're closer than we think to home.
