lyrics

If this is the end, where was the beginning? And when did we lose all of the feeling? And when did our dreams grow so cold and stale? When did everything we loved in the world fail?
What if all that we saw was just like a story, penned out in ink just to fill up the page? Would we all smile, would we laugh so lightly about our lack of control, or would we be frightened?
I want everything in the world, but I’m too afraid to take a hold of it. Life is just a fancy parlour trick, but the cards fell out my sleeve. I can't cheat away my broken penmanship, or find another author. I can't dream away all that we never did or find a better offer.
If we all had rights would we still have feelings? If everyone won, who would be the most equal? If we all lived forever why would anyone die? If we all lived forever, why would anyone cry?
I want everything in the world, but I’m too afraid to take a hold of it. Life is just a fancy parlour trick, but the cards fell out my sleeve. I can't cheat away my broken penmanship, or find another author. I can't dream away all that we never did or find another offer. I can't live my life the way I wanted it or give you what you need. I can't save the world from itself; I can't save the world from me.
If we could rewind time, and cancer didn't exist. What if pain and misery were stories based on myth? Would we all stay the same? Would we still be happy? Would you be by my side?
