【Verse 1】
I try to tell myself that
I don't know how I got here
Views of empty plains
and empty skies strikingly clear
Nothing withers, nothing dies
Nothing flourishes or thrives
I try to tell myself that
I don't know how I got here
【Pre-Chorus 1】
With no birds to sing their song
And no wind to call the breeze
【Chorus】
Without your voice to break the silence
I'm the war, I am the violence
Just the noise of police sirens
Calling forth from the horizon
Oh, without anyone, anyone at all
To stand and fight
Without comparison, how can I recall
What's wrong and right?
【Post-Chorus】
(Don't pick a fight)
(I'm here tonight)
(To live my life)
(From wrong and right)
(Don't pick a fight)
(I'm here tonight)
(To live my life)
(From wrong and right)
【Verse 2】
I start to walk across this land
With my head facing down
Muttering comforts to myself
Without making a sound
From the sights beyond my eyes
I can't tell if I'm alive
I'll keep on walking through this land
With my head facing down
【Pre-Chorus 2】
In this stillness, I'm not calm
With this stillness, I can't find peace
【Chorus】
Without your voice to break the silence
I'm the war, I am the violence
Just the noise of police sirens
Calling forth from the horizon
Oh, without anyone, anyone at all
To stand and fight
Without comparison, how can I recall
What's wrong and right?
【Bridge】
Without dark, there is no light
Without earth, there is no sky
Without peace, there is no fight
Without wrong, there is no right
【Final Chorus】
Without a beast to cause destruction
or a love to show affection
Without a past meant for reflection
Calling forth from the horizon
Oh, without anyone, anyone at all
To stand and fight
Without comparison, how can I recall
What's wrong and right?
【Outro】
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be on my own
I don't want to live without a home
Don't want to pretend that I don't know
【Post-Chorus】
(Don't pick a fight)
(I'm here tonight)
(o live my life)
(From wrong and right)
