Night Terrors

From the outside looking in How do we fix a ship that's been broken Down for so long With everyone overboard Pedals to the floor in up-armored vans Underneath the red hot hues of a sandstorm Limited visibility and an anthem I've had Stuck in my head with bad politics Now everybody's wanting to know why and when The enemy of your enemy becomes your friend Somebody wake me up before this nightmare ends Swept beneath the deep blue wave in open water Limited air flattening all the blood cells and I'm Stuck here alone with only my laments But everyone mostly stays fixated on when The enemy of your enemy becomes your friend Dead silent I resent the way you left us here Paralyzed no escape from all these night terrors Eyes wide but so tired Can't you see we're caving in Come back and let the light in Shatter the illusion as a light breaks in My reflection in the mirror starts to transform Back to the way things have always been Felt a core strike an initial discovery That we're all wired to find all our lives In the afterlife our consciousness will survive the fall Dead silent I resent the way you left us here Paralyzed no escape from all these night terrors Eyes wide but so tired Can't you see we're caving in Come back and let the light in From the outside looking in How do we fix a ship that's been broken And damned for so long With everyone overboard Throw us a lifeline As we all sit back just to watch the smoke rise Now everyone you know is alone and treading water Outside looking in How do we fix a ship that's been broken And damned for so long With everyone overboard Throw us a lifeline As we all sit back just to watch the smoke rise Now everyone you know is alone and treading water Dead silent I resent the way you left us here Paralyzed no escape from all these night terrors Eyes wide but so tired Can't you see we're caving in Come back and let the light in Come back and let the light in 'Cause in the afterlife our consciousness survives the fall
