After...
After all, we are the same as we always were.
We cover and carry on, like everything's copasetic and
courage we felt at all, feels like failure overcome.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can let go and feel again.

Sober, we pulled it off.
I'm clean and I'm cursed, it's one in all.
Forget the chemicals, faking the sense of self and heart.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can let go and feel again.

Wake up!
Wake up!
I'm not awake. I'm slowly burning away.
I'm not ok. I'm falling flat on my face.
Down on the pavement, I'm fighting the weight.
I'm not awake. I'm slowly burning away.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can let go and feel again.

I'm not awake.
Feel again.
I'm not ok.

We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned out hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It's hard to balance, a little unstable.

Through broken eyes and contact lenses
(I) Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You're back telling me your Apocalypse.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slowburn sunset come along
You've gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you might.

We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
(But) the words fell like hailstones,
bouncing at our feet,
Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.

A chance to move, I take a shot
I get cold - you get hot
We look outside, lyin' awake
See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.

But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon
Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You've got to stay the night
I've got to think that you might.

Don't try (to) make it easy, it'll cut you down to size
Darlin' we've got to trust in something
We're shooting down our skies
shooting down (shooting down) our skies
(shooting down our ...)

Biting down, feeling the pressure again
It's no more than we deserve, eyes closed to collect sun
Tearing it down, burning bridges away
There's no return now, leaving home today

We turn to face the storm
Just a sign of life to bring us home

Turning around, trying to face the strange
It's no more than we deserve, no more words to say
Coming around, there's no distance to go
Lying face down on the floor, reaching out for something new

We turn to face the storm
Just a sign of life to bring us home
We burn to face the storm
We lose everything and everyone

Farther... Slower...

We burn to face the storm
We lose everything and everyone
We turn to face the storm
Just a sign of life to bring us home
We burn to face the storm
We lose everything and everyone

We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned out hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It's hard to balance, a little unstable.

Through broken eyes and contact lenses
(I) Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You're back telling me your Apocalypse.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
