We've denied the very thing that makes us feel alive
If we stand and take a chance
On anything that's real
We can fall back into blindness
Disrupting these illusions
Of a love they say is right
Maybe there's more to this
Than counting down until the end
'Cause you've taken me your prisoner
And it's all I ever need to know
Don't let them tell you
That our music needs to fade
Or do we all just float astray?
So here we are, struggling to stay above the water
Shaken by the power of the mind
If we stand and leave nothing left
Then our moment in time will appear
Can we suffer long enough to show them
That our embrace is one to change the world
When the fear takes hold, although it will be cold
You still have to breathe
'Cause you've taken me your prisoner
And it's all I ever need to know
Don't let them tell you
That our music needs to fade
Our epidemic symphony
Will rise beyond their reach
Our moment in time is here
If we stand and take a chance
On anything that's real
We can fall back into blindness
Disrupting these illusions
Of a love they say is right
Maybe there's more to this
Than counting down until the end
'Cause you've taken me your prisoner
And it's all I ever need to know
Don't let them tell you
That our music needs to fade
Or do we all just float astray?
So here we are, struggling to stay above the water
Shaken by the power of the mind
If we stand and leave nothing left
Then our moment in time will appear
Can we suffer long enough to show them
That our embrace is one to change the world
When the fear takes hold, although it will be cold
You still have to breathe
'Cause you've taken me your prisoner
And it's all I ever need to know
Don't let them tell you
That our music needs to fade
Our epidemic symphony
Will rise beyond their reach
Our moment in time is here
