Closer Then We Think

What's it gonna take for me?
I'm on my hands and knees,
while all the poets fill the pages of loose leaf
I feel cheap, and I feel empty
We will bathe in the 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,
we turn the songs up loud so we can sing
I am true and I am living
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

Across the water you call me, but I'm not listening as I sink down
Water fills my lungs as I begin to drown
I knew that this would [happen]

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
