If everything that we love
Will burn down
Then should we love no one and nothing?
If all that we build
Falls down
Then I will dig the deepest hole
Dig down, down

All the things we don't say might mean something
Somewhere to someone
Because nothing here is ever good enough

So we close our eyes and wait for something better
Not knowing what we're even waiting for
With our hands cupped to the sky
We wait forever
Sacrificing light we're given
Never knowing what
We're living for

Can I have your attention, please
I've played the game, you see, to make all these ends meet
But it's not enough
The fabric we all share
All starts to rip and tear
We're sending thoughts and prayers
But they're not enough

Words without action equal nothing
They'll say when we're gone
We've heard your excuses all before
And this is what they sound like

So we close our eyes and wait for something better
Not knowing what we're even waiting for
With out hands cupped to the sky
We wait forever
Sacrificing light we're given
Never knowing what
We're living for
We're living for
We're living for

And this is what it sounds like
(And this is what it sounds like)

So don't close your eyes, don't wait for something better
Know exactly what it is you're waiting for
Put your empty hands away, don't wait forever
Don't sacrifice the light you're given
Know exactly what you're living for
