Closer than we think

What's it gonna take for me
I'm on my hands and knees
While all the poets fille pages of loose leaf
I feel cheap and I feel empty (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
Turn the songs up loud so we can sing
I am true and I am living (I am living)
And 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,
To home, To home,
To home, To home,
To home

Across the water
You call me, but I'm not listening
As I sink down (sink down)
Water fills my lungs as I begin to drown

I knew that this would

I still hope you believe 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
