lyrics

These are the years in which we grow old
If it all fails, you're responsible
The disconnected days
The divide, paved in rage

We sit and watch the country burn

Don't steal our rights
Don't threaten our intentions

For every voice not heard
and every face obscured
Every thought destroyed
and every soul dissolved
Every shout ignored
and every tear ran dry
Every truth suppressed
and every life misled
Reject your own democracy
Disgraced by hypocrisy
Today we killed the future
No hope in desperation

These are the years in which we grow old
If it all fails, you're responsible
The disconnected days
The divide, paved in rage

Painting the banners with war cries of vainglory
But the bigger picture is getting blurred
Self-centered wails of selfishness, it's but the fury of a few
Your words are as hollow as the cavity they came from

And so we scream at your world

We stand on broken grounds
The cracks once hills that held us high
Dried up veins from a lost heart
In the aftermath you'll find us
We are the dreamers
Don't wake us up

We are the dreamers
Don't wake us up

Vague words of reason are a mist of faulty perceptions to the unconvinced

For every voice not heard
and every face obscured
Every thought destroyed
and every soul dissolved
Every shout ignored
and every tear ran dry
Every truth suppressed
and every life misled
Reject your own democracy
Disgraced by hypocrisy
Today we killed the future
No hope in desperation

We can no longer go home
There is no home
