Slow down the metronome Pendulating waves of ecstasy ignore us Passing by as beam of light Can't focus now, an exit stream of wired senses flourish Which one is this now? Am I all I had as they say it is Do they want me alone in this memory ocean? I watch them in slow motion Screaming and shouting about things they said I'd lied about before How did the truth get out do they know there's more to it? War, it's what they live for Is that what it's called when I can't slow them down? In their ear so many voices And in the air there's poison in their words I'm so exhausted it hurts to breathe Is this all the world they left for me? Is this the only world they left for us Did they leave us I thought it was Promised, so many things from actions I was praised to end a life with Constant disappointment from stern eyes who judged how well I'd tear buildings apart But now Its not The same Anymore... Or is it? I can't ignore that I've been led to believe That you'd leave a better world for me What do I tell the ones who were sworn in what were made of? War, it's what they live for Is that what it's called when I can't slow them down? In their ear so many voices And what they see is so far pastfrom what is now in the air there's poison in their words I'm so exhausted it hurts to breathe Is this all the world they left for me? Is this the only world they left for us Did they leave us I thought it was promised America, a better world for us What do I tell the ones who wait for some redemption Why does this crowd not rest from all of their assumptions Can't we be heard for once Just heard for once But in their panic, I guess we were told enough War, it's what they live for Is that what it's called when I can't slow them down? In their eyes so many terrors to find from my life and many alike in the dark or the light they can't seem to find us I'm so exhausted it hurts to breathe Is this all the world they left for me? Is this the only world they left for us Did they leave us I thought it was Promised... We thought it was promised I will collapse here and rest until it's gone Balled into the ice to not watch it all I won't be a weapon We will not be your weapon Is this all that's left Is this the world they left, for us?
