Our lives will not be lived in vain We're throwing wrenches in the gears These machines feed on the tears of broken lives and dying dreams Are we so alone, So distant, So forgotten, As we think ourselves to be? These are our lives But did they ever even

Every day I spend my time Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine Waitin' here to find the sign That I can understand Don't push your love too far Right now is where you are In a broken dream In the days between the hours

Fear of time and missing links We all once were, oh, we all once were We people, we're dangerous things And I'll walk 'til my legs are broken A sheltered mind, a fear of rings Shave our heads strip our clothes Burn them books but the mind still grows

Wait here for death Wait for this suffering to end Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled And the powerless rise This is a kingdom born upside-down This is a kingdom where the broken are crowned Many choose to find their hope in the thoughts

Some broken bridges in my time Praying for forgiveness Standing on the other side There are bridges on life?s highway But we never see them there Some cross troubled waters And some don't go nowhere Some you wouldn't step on If you're trying to save your
