[Intro/Chorus]
This "peace" you long for
The answers that you preach
Have proven time and time again
To be out of our reach
So we'll watch the world burn
Take it all away
Your selfish minds won’t realize until you
UNDERSTAND PAIN!

[Verse 1]
YOU THINK YOU UNDERSTAND, BUT YOU DON'T
YOU HAVE CREATED A CYCLE THAT MUST BE BROKEN
HOW CAN YOU THINK WITH A MIND SO CLUTTERED
WITH THE LIES YOU'VE SPOKEN

You can dream, dream a little bit longer
But you know how this is going to end
You can scream, but that won’t make you stronger
You can't falter me

[Chorus]
This "peace" you long for
The answers that you preach
Have proven time and time again
To be out of our reach
So we'll watch the world burn
Take it all away
Your selfish minds won't rеalize until you
Understand PAIN!
[Post-Chorus]
UNDERSTAND THE PAIN!

[Verse 2]
TAKE A STEP BACK, FEEL YOUR HEART BREAK
CAN YOU REVEL AND CONSUME THE PAIN?
TRUE PEACE CAN BE OBTAINED
IF YOU OPEN YOUR MIND AND RID ALL CONFUSION

We all will feel thе sorrow
Thinking back on the days
When we weren't sure of tomorrow
But we've come to a place
Where we can all reside
We don't have to hide

[Chorus]
This "peace" you long for
The answers that you preach
Have proven time and time again
To be out of our reach
So we'll watch the world burn
Take it all away
Your selfish minds won’t realize until you
UNDERSTAND PAIN!
[Post-Chorus]
UNDERSTAND THE PAIN!
