Looking over this flat plain, I see only pain

The songbirds sing and crowbirds crow their merry melodies

They don’t know where we’ve gone or where we’re going

What is waiting at the end, or how we get there

All the people I see, carry on believing

That there’s a better place, beyond their hurt, beyond injury

They just follow those before them who followed those before

So let’s stop taking their lead, let’s take this chance to breathe

Oxidize, let’s oxidize together

We only have this one moment in time

The only life in our lifetime

Oxidize, let’s oxidize forever

If forever is a state of mind, we can be immortal if we try

But don’t wait too long

Day by day, I feel slower, growing weaker

Pretending I’m still young at heart, as if that meant anything

I’m a slave to my emotion, to my fears

But what’s past is passed, and however long, what’s up ahead is all my own

Oxidize, let’s oxidize together

We only have this one moment in time

The only life in our lifetime

Oxidize, let’s oxidize forever

If forever is a state of mind, we can be immortal if we try

But don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long, we’re not that strong

We will forget how we’re wrong

[Instrumental]

Don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long
