lyrics
So she sold a bit of her soul to know
Everything the Lord had promised her but she was too impatient for
A bit of a dream she couldn't wait to see
But it cost her everything, even the world
Where were the ones she thought she knew
The shoulders turn at the sight of who
Drank from the cup, the witches brew
But they were thirsty too
I know the noose is tightening
Plastic faces smile at me
Watching my feet so carefully
So certain I'll fall away from you
CHORUS
Oh, what has become of us
The best and the worst of us
No different from the rest
Oh, I know what I've done
But what have you become
When you're not hungry for the truth
Even though she had waited for
A sign to open up the door I tried to find
And here in spite of all the things we try to hide
It's not just the way we live
It's how we survive
How do I face the room I'm in
There is a fight stirring within
I am the unnamed, the un-appointed hero of it all
The blame of the sinners is all we need
To take the fall of a dying breed
All so that the world can see they must be above it all
CHORUS
Oh...
And although to the end we must go
We will never know how we will die
They sink their teeth behind apologies
I can't live on sympathies but I'm still alive
Everything the Lord had promised her but she was too impatient for
A bit of a dream she couldn't wait to see
But it cost her everything, even the world
Where were the ones she thought she knew
The shoulders turn at the sight of who
Drank from the cup, the witches brew
But they were thirsty too
I know the noose is tightening
Plastic faces smile at me
Watching my feet so carefully
So certain I'll fall away from you
CHORUS
Oh, what has become of us
The best and the worst of us
No different from the rest
Oh, I know what I've done
But what have you become
When you're not hungry for the truth
Even though she had waited for
A sign to open up the door I tried to find
And here in spite of all the things we try to hide
It's not just the way we live
It's how we survive
How do I face the room I'm in
There is a fight stirring within
I am the unnamed, the un-appointed hero of it all
The blame of the sinners is all we need
To take the fall of a dying breed
All so that the world can see they must be above it all
CHORUS
Oh...
And although to the end we must go
We will never know how we will die
They sink their teeth behind apologies
I can't live on sympathies but I'm still alive
