You haven't seen the world outside for days You sleep, you hope, you wait Imagination disappears And all the dreams you have you save Confrontation like a mirror They try to take your mind away I don't know, but I believe in yesterday And what it means To bleed and know that you're okay Are you waiting? No matter what you say No matter what you do No matter what, I'm always right there behind you [Repeat x2] Bombarded by the atmosphere You breath, you choke, you breath again Conversation disappears You realize they're not your friends The panic of the future rears You dig, you jerk You find another way I don't know, but I believe in yesterday And what it means To bleed and know that you're okay Are you waiting? No matter what you say No matter what you do No matter what, I'm always right there behind you No matter what you say No matter what you do No matter what, I'm always right there behind you You open up my veins now I don't feel the same No no no You open up my brain but I won't be replaced No matter what you say No matter what you do No matter what I'm always right there behind you
