lyrics

Oh you’re gonna break
If you let my bones shake
And the sky was made for me
And you’re gonna fall
If you storm through it all
And I see that you’re never gonna be

Oh you’re gonna drip
From the mind’s empty lips
And see me walking on my hands
And you’re gonna sing
With the dead, the autumn leaves
And feel the words that are drifting in the sand

You’re gonna fear
What goes too far and what’s too near
You’ve got a hundred different thoughts inside your brain
And you’re gonna hide
It’s not too far from suicide
And it will be just like you’re soaked in the rain

And you’re gonna blend
Into a crowd of a thousand men
And scream if your thought will get too loud
And you’re gonna burn
Trust me, we all get a turn
And somehow rise from the ashes in the ground

Well you’re gonna dream
If you’re stuck right in between
My house and a field of something gold
And you’re gonna slip
If you cannot get a grip
Cause I’ve seen you fall when you lost all your control

And you’re gonna breathe
All the wind, I do believe
As if you never heard the sound come off the trees
And you’re gonna dread
The voices calling through your head
And when you fall, you better fall right to your knees

And I’m gonna fight
If it comes to someone’s eyes
And breathe for an afternoon, at least
And I’m gonna roll
And feel tired of my home
While your words were bouncing far from reach

And I’m gonna sound
My face is in the ground
I feel lost, and your name, I do not know
And I’m gonna wake
While the dawn just imitates
And always will, so where is there to go?

I’m gonna hear
That you’ve become to me endeared
I’ve got no plans and no car and no heart
And I’m gonna slide
My way into the other side
But if you think that you need me, that’s a start

I’m gonna learn
to kill off all of my concerns
and beg you for a chance to be intact
and I’m gonna rain
from the sky some other day
and steal everything that I have lacked

And I’m gonna pay
To have my voice fill up the day
As I’ve told you, I’m filled up with all your words
And I’m gonna talk
Like I’m a crook, but I’m a hawk
And I’ll say that what you believe is absurd

And I’m gonna run
Cause you have all and I have none
I will forget, I will conquer, I will hide
And I’m gonna fly
When I have looked into your eyes
As if I can’t see what goes on inside

Oh we’re gonna find
That we’ve gone deaf and halfway blind
As we seep from the cracks in our mind
And we’re gonna bleed
And never ask for what we need
Even though what we need is what’s defined

And we’re gonna speak
And fall off of the mountain peak
But climb back to the top in reverse
And we’re gonna pray
To not become the black and grey
Across your floor and to your room I do traverse

We’re gonna feel
Like we’re supposed to be unreal
We need to be like anything we’re not
And we’re gonna flow
Into your mind to make you glow
I’m gonna count all the things I haven’t got

We’re gonna love
That we are not to be proud of
And hide the things we don’t want to see
And we’re gonna hate
That we know what does not await
As for me, I’ve been wanting just to flee

We’re gonna die
If we do not realize
The hardest thing is just to let go
And we’re gonna sink
When our eyes refuse to blink
While my heart, it felt like it froze

Oh and we’re gonna steer
Into tragedy, my dear
And I’ve forgotten everything I learned
And we’re gonna break
When we let our bones shake
I feel my heart wrapped in sun while it burns
