There are songs about their liberations
Poems about enlightened minds
Talk about their fall of hope
And what is rotten in our time
Might be ways to save your soul
And they lift you to a state sublime
Merely signs of desperate people
Trying not to lose their mind
Through the day you purge your feelings
Through the night you numb your grieving
You think it's all a part of healing
But what is going on inside
Escape to places free of meaning
Stretch a smile to drown the screaming
Repeat 'til you can't keep on going
We're here because we're afraid to die
We're here because we're afraid to die
We're here because we're afraid to die
We're here because we're afraid to die
We're here because we're afraid to die
We're here because we're afraid to die
We're here because we're afraid to die

There's nothing left inside
