Lyrics

Not just a matter of time It's not that simple, I can't just turn and walk away I've seen the spark in your eyes I can't convince you, the blind cannot lead the blind I know you've suffered, you know I see your pain Down on my knees at the shrine I want to go home, but can't go back the way I came Can't you hear the screams? As the chandelier comes crashing to the floor Tears fall as the one you love Goes walking out the door Fears as we're moving on The long long march to war Blood red, on a, razor's edge You're comin' back for more It's just so comfortable! I can't keep toeing this line Storm clouds are rolling Raining down on our parade Can't shiver without a spine (Yeah) Now or forever, there's always time to masquerade I know it's not fair, I know each day's so cruel I failed as much as I try Reach out to catch you But I'm the one that's falling through Can't you hear the screams? As the chandelier comes crashing to the floor Tears fall as the one you love Goes walking out the door Fears as we're moving on The long long march to war Blood red, on a, razor's edge You're comin' back for more It's just so comfortable! I tried to turn away, I didn't throw the stones Don't wanna break your heart, I tried to let you know Nothing but reruns play, Starring my cameo Got nothing nice to say, That's why my mouth is closed Why did you hurt me babe? Why did you break my heart? (I've had all that I can take) (And I take it oh) Why can't I ever change? Why can't I ever change? Why can't I ever change? I've had all that I can take And I'm gonna fucking break! We started out so inspired (We started out so inspired) We made believe in the journey's end, The search was done But now, I'm so god damn tired (Oh) Each day we make it just proves, we can't keep going on You know I love you (Ooo) You know I always will I'm not so sure we survived Wake up tomorrow and see if my heart's beating still Can't you hear the screams? As the chandelier comes crashing to the floor (Crashing to the floor) Tears fall as the one you love Goes walking out the door Fears as we're moving on (Moving on) The long long march to war (March to war) Blood red, on a, razor's edge You're comin' back for more It's just so comfortable, and I've had all that I can take And now I'm gonna fucking break!
