FROM A SECOND STORY WINDOW LYRICS

1. Most Of Us Are Normal

It's 3 o'clock and we are waiting for it to rain
And I'm planning our escape
To the places we can go
To the shores that we call home

Well surly we can make it out of here
You know that we will never be clear
Of the feelings they all harbor
Well, yea I'd rather not bother

Do you feel lonely
All the time

If you'll come with me. well, then I can show you
That the lives we lead could be sure and true
And if you take your time to look around you'd see
There's nothing wrong with me that hasn't already been seen

There's nothing wrong with me
There's nothings wrong with you
There's nothing wrong with us, I'm seeing through
Nothing's wrong with me that can't be traced to you
I've folded in my heart, I'd waste it all for you

Do you feel lonely?
All the time

2. Self Admitted

Remember when lines were formed for some sort of reason?
Be silent
And not just something we do to show our allegiance
Try breathing
Does it make you feel as though you're simply conceding?

Rest your head and continue to tell yourself that nothing we do will ever quell the contempt we all share.

I have a lot to lose more than I can tell you
Oh god I'm almost there.
I'm already leaving.

Keep silent and breath in.
In breathing we are no longer here

Lies

I am alive, I feel alive

I was meant for more than the way I feel. I revel in my madness. Is there a God outside?

Are you listening?
There could be more than this.

3. Leaving The Earth

I'm never coming back
We've made our choice
Now let's live with it
In my life I never had the chance to change
Why can't we change?

Grown enough to know where to begin
If we know where it would end
Then we all could see the sky for what it is

We are lost

Like running in circles
Trying to realize what we are
We are the truth
We hold the proof that what we are is of no use

Is there a way to make a change?
While running in circles
Can we outlive the coming days?

No
We are a waste of space
We are the world gone wrong
Save yourself

I am awake

4. Monumental Treason

Behold the treason
That sits fittingly on crowns of war
We're sifting soot, gathering the evidence
While they let us believe
That the accused is free

Well if I'm dreaming
Please let this be the one that wakes me
From this life
No longer will I allow myself
To sink this way

I will curse you as you sit on high
And watch us burn
They'd watch us die

I wish that it were not true
The ways we choose to love
Can lead us down
And show us how to be ourselves

There is no us in this world anymore
There is only war
Believing in a change
Is what has sent them away
To cause more pain
To breed more war

I feel so alone
Like there is no home
And this wind feels like fire in my bones

Someone set me free
Allow me to be all you ever wanted
I'm all you'll ever need

5. The Burning Bush

Hey there, you are a simple design
I created your lies

Hold on, this is not fair for anyone
They all think they are alive

This is my immaculate design
It's all been planned from the start

Your slipping deeper and deeper
Destroying all you held

Your words are losing their meaning
You choose to receive death

I grow increasingly weary
And I'm tired of this jest

Dear god, what made us all deserve this
There must be some other way

My son, it's far too much to handle
Just know I do this in love

You see, you are a disposable being

Don't fear...life is fake

We all exist in the same space

6. Severed Heads Open Minds

Never again will we feed those with inhibition
And let me catch anyone trying to think free
Keep a close eye on those sleeping
Watch them with eyes like hawks circling their prey
I will renounce the moment you were given power
May dark circles and clouds follow your soul straight to hell
The darkness you see was not caused by me
well, it has always existed here

I've waited for sleep and I'm watching every memory fade
Just spread my ashes in the wind
Take her out
You see what becomes of thieves here!

7. A Swarm Of Bees

Keep listening as I speak
There will be one true reckoning
We're gathering as we prevail
So I will sail before we fail

As the world keeps spinning around
We're trying to grab a piece of ground

I simply can't complete any sort of feat aside from breathing.
Increase in temperature is the fault of all, we suffocate ourselves
We are only breathing

There are so many ways to rearrange there are so many reasons that life must change
Look to the children who have no home
Look to the children, what have they done?
We paved the roads of destruction, what have we done
We paved the roads of destruction, we've let them down

What are we waiting for

Never again will we see the worlds dreams.
They're all dying.
We are the visitors here and the air is failing.
There is no world to punish, we destroyed it all.

8. Advancement Towards Nothingness

The moral majority knows
Nothing of what it is to be free
Now if we examine the modern ways of thinking
Then perhaps we could see
The mistakes we are making

The standard way of life
Is not better now than it used to be

Is the answer too great
For the question at hand
Can we allow ourselves to advance

It seems to me, that to advance, we must have had, some sort of plan

So it seems to me
That there will be an eternity
That will carry us home in the end

Just hold onto me, hang on
It will be alright in the end.

They need us here
For our love and for our fear
They force love
They force fear

9. Stolen Lands

I need release
I pose a simple question
Are we allowed to exist with fear
There seems to be a new consensus
One that guides us all through life
To hold us all here together
And allow the free to fly
Viewing the spirit from the other side
Is a guide to inner truth
Follow the spirit and allow your soul to glide
Allow me to show you truth
There's always been the same dimensions
That allow us all to try
To see ourselves in true potential
And allow the free to fly
To simply look in the mirror
Cannot show you all you need
Will you look in the mirror
And tell me what you see
I've run so long
I must escape
There is only so much that I can take
Their approval means nothing
This is something I will not give them
To fly, to fall
Is knowing that I am alive
I have given up and I have given in
I have shed my wings away

10. When Harry Lost Sally

Are you feeling well?
And are you alone, in the house we called our home
I'm still waiting here, lost and without a care.
The further you run, the closer you are to me.
Well, I'm still waiting here
Arms wide and wearing thin

You must be blinded by your own eyes
Surely you understand it's you I despise

And if we hold on to what we had
We could be what everyone has
Just to see the sun rise into the sky
I'd give anything to be closer to you
I'd give everything to be closer to you
