lyrics

YOU TURNED ME OFF
WHEN I TURNED YOU ON
THAT'S THE COST
JUST TO BELONG

NOW THE FALLACY ARISES
WHILE WE ARE FALLING INTO THE SUN

WE ALL CRAWL
INTO THE SHADOWS
HAVE WE BECOME
SO SMALL AND SHALLOW

AND THE MALADY OF ILLUSION
MAKING US BELIEVE WHAT THEY NEED US TO

IN THE FACE OF CONTRIDICTION
AND EASY WAYS OUT
WE ARE LOST WITHOUT CONNECTION
AND LEFT ON THE BATTLEGROUND
WITH HATE RAINING DOWN
DON'T FORGET ABOUT LOVE

CHASING GHOSTS
AND THROWING TIME IN THE TRASH
A MINOR THING
HAS BECOME A MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS

PLACE YOUR SACRIFICE ON THE ALTER
YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT YOU CAN SLEEP

AND THE FACE OF COLD INDIFFERENCE
IS A HEARTLESS DISGUISE
I REGRET MY OWN CONDITION
I REGRET THE LIES
BUT GOD KNOWS I TRY
DON'T FORGET ABOUT LOVE

NOT SEEING BEYOND
WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW
STILL WAITING ON YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW
CAN'T TRULY FORGIVE
UNTIL WE'VE BEEN FORGIVEN
IT'S SO HARD TO SEE BEYOND OUR OWN HYPOCRISY
BUT IT BREEDS IN YOU AND ME
AND WE CAN'T FORGET ABOUT LOVE

PLACE YOUR SACRIFICE ON THE ALTER
YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL
THAT YOU CAN SLEEP

IN THE FACE OF OUR DESTRUCTION
IS THERE ANY WAY OUT
WE ALL FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTION
LEAVING SOMETHING OUT
BUT THERE AIN'T NO DOUBT
THAT YOU CAN'T BUILD ANYTHING WITHOUT LOVE
