I was left to my own devicesMany days fell away with nothing to showAnd the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?We were caught up and lost in all of our vicesIn your pose as the dust settles around usAnd the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?Oh where do we begin?The rubble or our sins?Oh where do we begin?The rubble or our sins?And the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?If you close your eyesDoes it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

Aim throw your best shot right at meCause pain I can take it easilyDid you really think Id fall to my kneesJust to pray for some sweet simplicity?Cause woah youre squeezing my heartToo hard in your bare hands they hold too tightAnd woah the air is on fireThis room feels electric cord here in your sightsPower powerI will never understand the power youre holding over mePower powerOh youve had it too long yes youve had it too longPain just synapses firing in our brainSo when you cut me cut me deepHurt the ones you love the most easilyCause in time we show our Achilless heelsAnd woah youre squeezing my heartToo hard in your cold bare hands they hold too tightAnd woah the air is on fireThis room feels electric cord here in your sightsPower powerI will never understand the power youre holding over mePower powerOh youve had it too long yes youve had it too longIf youre gonna hit me hit me harder (hit me hit me harder)Cause you better knock me out the first timeAnd if youre do this with the plaster (do this with the plaster)Power powerBlows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over mePower powerI will never understand the way I let you hold it over mePower powerWell youve had it too long yes youve had it too longPower oh oh power oh oh oh oh oh oh ohPower powerI let you have it too long yes youve had it too long

As the night time bleeds into the dayTomorrow spills across the skyAnd the suns a harsh reminder whyWe are feeling barely humanWe dont know whats good for usCause if we did we might not do itWho knows where our limits lie?We wont discover til we push itI should just walk away walk awayBut it grips me it grips meBut I should call it a day and make my wayOh it grips meCause the devils got my arms(Cause the devils got my arms)And it pulls me back into the nightBut I should just walk away awayOh it grips meCause the devils got my armsCause the devils got my armsAnd it pulls me back into the nightWe got drunk on this unholy wineTo deliver us from our old mindsThe promise of a better timeTil were feeling barely humanWe dont know whats good for usCause if we did we might not do itWho knows where our limits lie?We wont discover til we push itCause the devils got my arms(Cause the devils got my arms)And it pulls me back into the nightWell I should just walk away awayOh it grips meCause the devils got my armsAnd it pulls me back into the nightThe devils got my armsAnd it pulls me back into the nightI would rather forget and wash my memory cleanOh I would rather forget and wash my memory cleanI would rather forget (I would rather forget)Wash my memory clean (wash my memory clean)I would rather forget (I would rather forget)Wash my memory cleanCause the devils got my armsAnd it pulls me back into the nightThe devils got my armsCause the devils got my armsAnd it pulls me back into the nightAnd it pulls me back into the night

I was left to my own devicesMany days fell away with nothing to showAnd the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?We were caught up and lost in all of our vicesIn your pose as the dust settles around usAnd the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?Oh where do we begin?The rubble or our sins?Oh where do we begin?The rubble or our sins?And the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?If you close your eyesDoes it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

An act of kindnessIs what you show to meNot more than I can takeNot more than I can takeKindness is what you show to meIt holds me till I acheOverflow and start to breakOh I got a feeling this will shake me downOh I kind of hoping this will turn me roundAnd now it follows me every dayAnd now it follows me every day every day every dayAnd now it follows me every dayAnd now it follows me every day every day every dayAn act of kindnessIs what you show to meIt caught me by surprise in this town of glass and eyesKindness so many people pass me byBut you warm me to my core and you left me wanting moreOh I got a feeling this will shake me downOh I kind of hoping it will turn me roundOh I got a feeling that however slowOh I kind of hoping this will reach my soulAnd now it follows me every dayAnd now it follows me every day every day every dayAnd now it follows me every dayAnd now it follows me every day every day every dayOh my backs up against the wallI feel guilty I feel guiltyWant nothing in returnI feel guilty I feel guiltyOh my backs up against the wallI feel guilty I feel guiltyWant nothing in returnI feel guilty I feel guiltyAnd now it follows me every dayAnd now it follows me every day every day every dayAnd now it follows me every dayAnd now it follows me every day every day every dayBacks up against the wallI feel guilty I feel guiltyAnd you want nothing in returnI feel guilty I feel guilty

I was left to my own devicesMany days fell away with nothing to showAnd the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?We were caught up and lost in all of our vicesIn your pose as the dust settles around usAnd the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?Oh where do we begin?The rubble or our sins?Oh where do we begin?The rubble or our sins?And the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGrey clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from aboveBut if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyesDoes it almost feel likeYouve been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?If you close your eyesDoes it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
