As we make our way
Towards another day
All the lost, hopeless, desperate, and aggrieved
We're caught in this mess
We know nothing, so we guess
While feigning comprehension like the rest
As if no one could tell
Behind the masks we wear
Each of us is going through some kind of hell
With no more lies to sell
And a truth we can't dispel
This place is but a lonely crowded cell
And how we lose our way
In trying to find a better place
But all the searches seem to be in vain
Are we only here to bear the pain?
We're all caught in this mess
We know nothing, so we guess
Still feigning comprehension like the rest
As if no one could tell
With no more lies to sell
There is no one here not experiencing hell
Just trying to find our way
In this truth-forbidding place
Where all the searches are all in vain
It seems we are only here to bear the pain
Another day
Ah yes, another day
Why am I feeling nothing but the strain
Of living another day
Ah yes, another day
I would rather not feel anything
As we lose our way
In this love-forsaken place
All the searches seem to be in vain
Are we only here to bear the pain?
We were all given the gift of flight
With a paralyzing fear of heights
We have all been given the gift of flight
With a paralyzing fear of heights
In a world that is nothing but cruel
You have to go through all the filth to last a day
The world is nothing but cruel
You have to go through all the filth to last a day
Oh sacred breath of life
Why is every chance to live you denied?
Oh sacred breath of life
Is it easier to leave you behind?
Than try to find our way
In this love-forsaken place
Were all the searches fruitless and vain?
Are we only here to bear this pain?
Over and over again
Until it all finally ends

What we long for
What we crave for
What we thirst for
What we desire
What we hope for
What we dream of all our lives
What we pray for
Our real messiahs
There are no greater gods
Than the ones we believe
Than the gods who will feed our ambitions
When want becomes need
What we steal for
What we kill for
What gives less value to other lives
What we live for
What we are willing to die for
Why souls are sold for a price...the prize
'Cause there are no greater gods
Than the ones we believe
Than the gods who will feed our ambitions
When want becomes need
There are no greater gods
Than the ones we believe
Than the gods who will feed our ambitions
As want turns to need
And as the world turns
So too shall we yearn for more
And as our time burns
So too shall we yearn for more, then more and more
'Cause we
We want to rule
We want to own
We want to be known
And we
We want it now
We want it all
We want everything
Live your lie for the gods
Live your life for the gods
Bow to the gods
Kneel to the gods
Worship the gods
Be consumed by the gods
Worship the gods
Bow to the gods
Kneel to the gods
Be consumed by the gods
Power is our god, and
Greed is our god, and
Fame is our god, and
Hate is our god
Power is our god
Greed is our god
Fame is our god
Hate is our god
And we serve them well
We serve them well
We serve them well
We serve them well
We serve them well
We serve them well
We serve them well
We serve...
'Cause there are no greater gods
Than the ones we believe
Than the gods who will feed our ambitions
As want turns to need
There are no greater gods
Than the ones we believe
Than the gods who will feed our ambitions
As want turns to need

All we are is what we are
And we're barely
Hanging on this fleeting line
Like fumbling puppets of time
Grabbing everything as fast as we can
In an attempt to make things better
Helplessly feeble minds with futile tasks
To find happiness within this mortal grasp
So sure we've found it in every feeling of gain
Only to watch it all dissipate
When beauty starts to fade
When youth turns to gray
When strength begins to wane
When all the gods have failed
When all the glory turns to shame
When values are sent to the grave
This life is meaningless and grey
When even love turns to disdain
When everyone just goes away
And even love turns to disdain
When everyone just goes away
Until we feel nothing but the drain
In hanging on this fleeting line
Us, fumbling puppets of time
Still clutching whatever we can
Desperate to make things better
Hopelessly feeble minds and such joyless hearts
Maybe real happiness was not meant for us
Triviality embraced to numb the hurt
For what is missing
We hold on to what we can
But everything will still be nothing in the end
When the bitter wind is done blowing our sandcastles clear
When the bitter wind is done blowing our sandcastles clear
We hold on as tightly as we can
But everything still turns to nothing in the end
When the bitter wind is done blowing our sandcastles clear
When the bitter wind is done blowing our sandcastles clear
We hold on to what we can
But everything becomes nothing in the end
When the bitter wind is done blowing our sandcastles clear
When the bitter wind is done blowing our sandcastles clear
