answer

[prismaticbleed]

We used to say that life was waiting just outside the door
Waiting down the road and standing by the cornerstore
But they never believed us
Until we brought it home

I used to keep all of my memories in a paper cup
Used to say that life was lovely, everything was looking up
I took it all for granted and I lost it
When they knocked it over

Bells are ringing
But I can't hear them anymore
This tower's falling down around me
I'm burning all to pieces

I used to know a girl that looked just like the city rain
Her eyes would shine just like the streetlights and reflected all my pain
It's such a shame I only knew her in a photograph
I want to see her smile

They used to spend their time out sitting by the wishing well
Praying for a miracle to save them from their hell
There was a night when everything was lit by shooting stars
They never came back home

Sky is falling
But I can't see it anymore
This ocean's burning up around me
I'm being torn to pieces

Father, can't you give me an answer
I just want an answer
I'm sick of all the questions invading my eyes
I never had a direction
Can I have some direction?
I'm sick of all these blue-shifting lies

New beginnings
But you don't know me anymore
The sun is shining all around us
I can't pick up the pieces

Father, can't you give me an answer
I just want an answer
I'm sick of all the questions invading my eyes
I never had a direction
Can I have some direction?
I'm sick of all these blue-shifting lies

Father, can't you give us an answer
We just need an answer
We're sick of all the fighting and all of the lies
I never had a direction
Can I have some direction?
I'm sick of all these tears in my eyes

This life is falling down around me...
