Like a spotlight
Through a dark night
In the deep black
Glowing pure white
There's a fire growing
There's a wind blowing
It's getting hard to know
If you're coming or going
Every place you been
Every secret sin
You remember it all as the walls are closing in
You feel the ground shake
You know it's no mistake
Feels like a dream except you're wide awake
You cover up your ears fighting back the tears
But the heat keeps hounding you
The beat keeps pounding through
'Til your stitches tear
And you don't even care
You crack yourself open
And let the people stare

If the dream dies
Then we'll dream again
With a spark in our eyes
Like a perfect surprise
And if the sun won't rise then we'll dance in the dark
And if the truth lies
We'll cut it down to size
In the time it takes to be mad at the breaks you've had
All the lakes will evaporate
If you wait it'll be too late
So take my hand
And we'll take a stand
For those who can't see what tomorrow could be
The key is to take the pieces
And make peace with the rubble
Find release in the sea of trouble
So when the slings and arrows knock us off the straight and narrow
We'll face the weather together
