lyrics

We will stand together

We built this world on broken foundations, this is the life we live.
We've come to terms with the hand we've been given, but still find it hard to forgive.
The walls around us continue to stand, through the wars and the weather.
So as the fire reaches our doorstep, we will stand together.

Perfection, we all strive to be anyone but ourselves.
Witnessing, how great a life is, we need to live for ourselves.
Was it all a dream?
We're all victims now, of our own, selfish ways.
Trying to prove, we're living the best life, in our own, materialistic ways.

A living nightmare.

To see the bottom, you have to fall, from the top.
We made this happen, never tried to stop.
This life can slip through your hands.
Don't let go.

Bandwagon's fall, now there's no room to move, without colliding with another point of view.
Take it in, let the truth run deep.
Understanding each other, It's all we need.

We could be much better than this.
We just needed the chance to exist.
Breathing in new life, I feel whole.
No one has to see that your drowning with me.

No longer can we stare into nothing, whilst witnessing other's dreams come true.

The reality of it all impresses, we try to take ours, so we're is yours.
Hollow out now an empty heart, pour in some soul and maybe we'll talk

The last time we were whole.
We could honestly say, we portray, a perfect life in our hands.
Display it all now.
For the world to see. Are we living the dream?
