lyrics

i hear it's funny the way things worked out
those who keep the faith will be saved from doubt
i hear it's sometimes rough but everybody's doing well
but if it were any other way then no one'd ever tell

we never found a place we could be alone
just an auditorium made from bones
with a growing crowd and a savage roar
we would dance in tiny circles in the middle of the floor

and you could look at me and see the days pass by
the sun is shining west across my eyes
but if we fell (the war was fought but)
from the greatest heights (nothing made right)
would you know me then (we got out but)
in the middle of a midnight? (it all happened at midnight)

i can't trust what i can't see
but i know that i must cause you're waiting for me
without sparing your feelings i could spare you the time
i'll never know what you'd have done and i am sorry but i'm

a story that was told the wrong way
i've seen the other life i never lived until today
i don't know whether it might have been better
all i know is that in this life i've got nothing left to say

i waited longer than i care to admit
i couldn't see the system from outside of it
everybody's gotta lose for somebody to win
if you're gonna cut me someday, might as well go ahead

i don't bleed human blood, i just bleed my thoughts
you hate what you are, but you know what you're not
oh it might not hurt (i'm so sick of)
to stand in your sight (waiting for light)
but i want you to know (give up your ghost)
i'll be leaving before midnight (and settle into midnight)

let's all get ready for the grand negation
cause there's fearful patterns to human creation
my family were not candlemakers but burners
i was native to the trade and i'm a fast learner

i never caught a glimpse of the promised land
i never sought salvation from another's hand
i'll leave the door open for you some nights
but i'm never gonna wait on you to tell me what's right

i want you gone cause i can't stand to be seen
and i can feel your eyes even when i know what you mean
please forget me (this first snowfall)
and hold your faith tight (paints the sky white)
and if ever you regret me (the whole city shining)
think of an angel shown at midnight (like an angel shown at midnight)
