[spoken]
It is, in the end, whatever the hell I want it to be;
and when I'm through with it it's going
to blow a whole this wide straight through
the world's own idea of itself.
They're throwing bottles at your house.

Come on, let's go break their arms.
[/spoken]

You talk about the way things were but I can't hear what you're saying
A time when life was not this hard blessed by the innocence

Is the best yet to come or did it pass by long ago
Are we holding on to a thread of something already dead

I'm not your reason to stand up straight, shoulders back chest out and eyes raised
Stepping back I hesitate, I can't let myself be taken

Is the best yet to come or did it pass by long ago
Are we holding on to a thread of something already dead

You can't change your mind, expect me to care
You can't just snap your fingers and expect me to be there
Can't just change your mind

The reception fades, the signals breaking up and am I moving on or am I giving up
If you walk away from this with anything live your life today
