In silence we're caught in the afterlight
Waiting for an escape tonight
I've been sleeping the pain away
'Cause beauty exists in another day
When this started you said
That every life has promise
When this started you said
That everyone has so much
Waiting for them
And I believed in you
Want is taking me out of mind
Awake in confusion and running blind
Far from the grips of reality
'Cause beauty exists in a fantasy
When this started you said
That every life has promise
When this started you said
That everyone has so much
Waiting for them
And I believed in you
A voice still stuck in my head
How many lives are spent following you?
You're still laying in my bed
Collecting dreams and selling them as truth
What will the billboards say
What will our heroes say
When hope becomes our fear?
What will the TV say
When our deception turns around and disappears?
When this started you said
That every life has promise
When this started you said
That everyone has so much
Waiting for them
And I believed in you
