[Intro] There are things. I could only tell you. Now you’re gone my only friend. [Verse 1] The pain in my heart belongs to the first one. Before I know it it’s just another number. The rush in your chest belongs to the first step. Before you know it you’re walking through the mire. [Pre-Chorus] If it means building heaven I guess we thought this moment could be hell. [Chorus] The ones who get shot don’t dance anymore. They just collapse like their bones are gone. The ideals we chased were never beautiful. Just crooked bones barely holding the frame. [Verse 2] Somewhere along the way our comrades disappeared. No one knows when or why. Somewhere along the way the shining hope we had was drowned out by the cold real world [Pre-Chorus] I guess we thought for the chosen ones everything they did was forgiven. [Chorus] The ones who get shot don’t take flight. They break apart under the weight. The future we dreamed of is nothing divine. Only rotten bodies lying in the dirt. [Bridge] Little by little the heart dies out. Empty bodies still breathing. A foolish dance a hollow ritual. We keep on dancing for the dead. [Final Chorus] The ones who get shot don’t spin around. They fall straight down like a wooden pole. The tomorrow we chased never comes. These exhausted bodies just wander on. [Outro] Back then you were whispering water I couldn’t understand forgive me... [End]
