What's it gonna take for me? I'm on my hands and knees While all the poets fill the pages of loose leaf I feel cheap, and I feel empty We will bathe in the sea of disbelief, but we will not go quickly. No we will not die so easily And I knew that this would happen, it always does And I couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come I let it come I still hold the belief that we are free That we don't need the rules to see That despite what we've done, we're not alone We're closer than we think to home It didn't take me long to believe that I could do anything We turn the songs up loud so we can sing I am true and I am living We will walk through the valley of the shadow of the boring and burn it all No we will not go quietly And I knew that this would happen, it always does And I couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come I let it come I still hold the belief that we are free That we don't need the rules to see That despite what we've done, we're not alone We're closer than we think to home To home, to home Across the water you call me, but I'm not listening as I sink down Water fills my lungs as I begin to drown I knew that this would [happen] I still hold the belief that we are free That we don't need the rules to see That despite what we've done, we're not alone We're closer than we think to home
