lyrics

We’ve only been ourselves
And we can’t make them change our minds
And if we take away the toys and things that make us stay
Again, we’re falling out of line

Somewhere there’s a desert with a sign
Where dreams and illusions intertwine
Take a breath, and step back, we were made to attack, we were built with our hearts on the frontlines
But we can’t go home, we’re dying inside

They say that home is where the heart is
But what good is that when you’re born heartless
Where’s the knife we used to cut the cake that set the blaze
Hold still if you want to stay alive

Somewhere there’s a desert with a sign
Where dreams and illusions intertwine
Take a breath, and step back, we were made to attack, we were built with our hearts on the frontlines
But we can’t go home, we’re dying inside.

And then she’ll ask me if I’m the creator
I’ll answer back I wrote the scriptures
So long, my friend, 'til we meet again
You’ll learn to sleep with one eye open

Somewhere there’s a desert with a sign
Where dreams and illusions intertwine
Take a breath, and step back, we were made to attack, we were built with our hearts on the frontlines
But we can’t go home, we’re dying inside.
