Lions in the midst of vultures
Sleeping in tranquil havens and silent wells of dreamlike ether
Passing glances while encircled, such a fragile compromise is carved in stone
Electrifying, the tension thick and every hair on end, it sticks
Beyond this moment, this plastic moment, a truth is forged again
And again and again and again

We are the ones, we are the lions
Afraid as we reach for control
Grasping at nothing, spanning these useless party lines that keep us sane
Breathing fear into our dreams
Breathing life into our fears
We are the ones
We are the foolish ones

Say goodbye to the nightmares you've strapped to your back
No one can trust a disaster
Reaching to find a tomorrow worth calling your own
You trust your eyes, not your mind

Drawn in the sand, this is our "said and done"
Any boundary that is crossed is marked with a stern death sentence
And stitched with masochistic understanding
That truly a faith, unwavering faith, is subjective to power

Past, present, future. Whatever the result, we're in the dark
We boast, "We're from heaven, a collective!"
Oh how we contradict ourselves
"Oh the vastness, oh the splendor!"
We will say with a jovial shout
"La vie c'est drole, no?"
"Oui, la vie c'est drole!"

Say goodbye to the nightmares you've strapped to your back
No one can trust a disaster (no one can trust a disaster)
Reaching to find a tomorrow worth calling your own
You trust your eyes, not your mind

We are the ones

Self destructive
Feed me to the null
Flourish actuality
Feed me to the null
When we've barely scratched the surface

Tear me apart, tear me to pieces
If it makes you feel alive
The war inside of me has settled
There's no hatred left to scavenge
There is no solace here
Just desperation

Say goodbye to the nightmares you've strapped to your back
No one can trust a disaster (no one can trust a disaster)
Reaching to find a tomorrow worth calling your own
You trust your eyes, not your mind

All that we know, all that we know is
Poisoning us
All that we show, all that we show is
Bordering us
