lyrics

do you believe anything you say?
or do you just want all the others to hear you speak this way?
you'll take your place at the front of the line
it seems you've misunderstood the saying
it's what's mine is yours not what's yours is mine
we're not so dissimilar
me and you
the only difference
is that I won't pretend to know what to do
when the end makes it's way to me
yeah I'll be frightened
but maybe that's just the way it's meant to be
god only knows
I've spent enough time running away from this
maybe the answer
is embracing the angel's long awaited kiss
you spend every moment of existence
wondering what the goddamn point is
maybe it ain't so hard to make peace
we live and we die and then we cease
we were never guaranteed a reason
here and now is the only season
am I looking for some kind of meaning
or just looking for ways to quiet the screaming?
quiet the screaming
