Lyrics: Falling Forward. Other. Character.


I rage this war against myself and I'm not the only casualty no ones leaving this play alive this play of mass tranquility curtain call and then I walk curtain drops I stumble fall tripped by my material needs I look out to the gawking creed silent
whisper becomes a roar I pick myself up off the floor and I was forced to bow down to a crowd laughing at me I rage this war against myself and I'm not the only casualty take ten paces back and fire and see who falls first to their knees don't hunt the man thats lost his feelings because he will die alone and waking waiting for someone to serve him but I'll bite the hand that tries to feed me and I raise my hand high above the others in the call for truth.

But invisible boy can't speak he screams awake at night with all these feelings can they have some meaning what am I trying to prove we raise our hands for the fight the fight in which we'll lose this blind man wont lead the blind because this blind man knows no more than you we pray for change but I can't pray a heart worth none in this senseless age a fortress lost in one short toss ashes to ashes we all fall what a surprise when you look in my eyes did you expect soemthing more from me this grand disguise look in my eyes is it not what a mans suppose to be look in my eyes disguise teach a boy just what to be look in my eyes disguise you prayers took this freedom locked from me is this freedom on his knees this child lies.
