Don't you ever get tired of these shallow waters?

If we could just find something that matters

We're blinded by the light

For all we used to be and all we thought that we could keep

To wake up somewhere else without a clue of where to run

We gave up everything just to see if we could fly

I became everything that I swore to save you from

Are we all so blind?

Have we lost sight of where to run?

Have we lost our minds?

Looking down the barrel of a loaded gun

Don't you ever get tired of these shallow waters?

With no reality left in sight

If we could just find something that matters

Instead we're blinded by the light

We're blinded by the light

I guess this is it

This is as far as it gets

And now there's nothing left

Guess we were never meant to fly

With no one to lead

Just a few searching for the remedies

Look at the scars we leave

Turning stars into enemies

Where will it end?

When we all escape into make belief

Are we all the same?

Have we lost all sense of me?

Don't you ever get tired of these shallow waters?

With no reality left in sight

If we could just find something that matters

Instead we're blinded by the light

We're blinded by the light

And what are we to do with all the others?

All the ones who care

When all our hopes and dreams have shattered

Can we still breathe the open air?
