Don't look at me like that
You know how hard I'm tryin'
You'd love to see me give it up, give it up
Even if sometimes I want to
But that's not really up to you
And what happens to the soul
That burns between two fires?
Are we grains of sand that slip
Between the cracks of time?
Will ya smoulder or go down in flames?
Will ya carry on your name?

'Cause I know what it feels like
To wanna walk away
When nothing feels right
Not enough to make you stay
How can we decide
What's wrong and what's right
To live on our knees
Or stray from the light
Who are you? What are you
Leaving behind?

They say you can skip the line
If you've got the money to play
But our stock only rises if we're on fire
Burn it away
Are we enlightened or deranged?
I think the message stays the same
How can I promise I will change?
Nothing ever seems to go my way
How come every single time I pray
I feel like a bird inside a cage
I just wanna feel like I'll be saved

'Cause I know what it feels like
To wanna walk away
When nothing feels right
Not enough to make you stay
How can we decide
What's wrong and what's right
To live on our knees
Or stray from the light
Who are you? What are you
Leaving behind?

I wish I could see what you see in me
But I'm blinded by my own regrets
Don't see the value in my suffering
But it's all that I have left
All that I have left

'Cause I know what it feels like
To wanna walk away
When nothing feels right
Not enough to make you stay
How can we decide
What's wrong and what's right
To live on our knees
Or stray from the light
Who are you? What are you
Leaving behind?
