I hear the static drawing nearer
There's no way out
I breathe the ice and let the fire die
They keep on feeding me the chemicals I need to breathe
But how can something so important not belong to me?
I can't pretend like I'm the one who was gonna change this but all I know is that our time is running out
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go

So how much longer must I wait
To fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths

And out of the dust I see the light creep in
And I know it won't be long
But I'm still terrified, cuz at least in the dark no one else can see who you really are
So bring me the sound of your guns and blame me for all of your wrongs
It seems hate is all I have left
Yeah it's all I have left, it's the only thing that's left in me
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much farther left we could go

So how much longer must I wait
To fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths
So when you feel like you're falling under
Holding on to the things you thought you loved
Will you let all the things you've run from
Chew you up and spit you out?
This all ends now
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much farther left we could go

So how much longer must I wait
To fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths
Don't be scared to see the lights go out
