  • I can't blame you, and I can't save you
    But I will try
    For you and I, for you and I
    I won't find out all the dirty little things that you've done
    But I will try
    I—I'm coming for you giants and you liars and your chariots of fire
    You charmers with your anecdotes have started to show your true colors

    Now I'm staring at the moon wondering why the bottom fell out
    I've been searching for answers and there's questions I've found
    Open your eyes and share this burden somehow
    Are you ready to drink
    Or are you waiting to drown?

    I would break you
    Before I let you fall into the blind
    For you and I, for you and I
    I will breathe in all the truth I can stomach
    If it keeps you alive
    We've changed the dreamers and the preachers and the wise men on the hill
    To concrete stepping smilers terrified to lose their power and control

    Yeah we've been crying for a leader to speak like the old prophets
    The blood of the forgotten wasn't spilled without a purpose, or was it?

    Now I'm staring at the moon wondering why the bottom fell out
    I've been searching for answers and there's questions I've found
    Open your eyes and share this burden somehow
    Are you ready to drink
    Or are you waiting to drown?

    Yeah
    Ah—ah

    Yeah you'll never be whole, yeah you'll never be whole
    Until you lose control
    And think freely to smash the wall of apathy
    Stop your self-importance and lift the weight off somebody else
    Yeah you'll never be whole, yeah you'll never be whole
    Until you lose control
    And stop drinking the wine that's been dripping
    From the lips of the gluttons and envying their bloody teeth
    Yeah you'll never be whole, yeah you'll never be whole
    Until you lose control Writer/s: MARK FOSTER, MICHAEL VOLPE, PAUL EPWORTH, RAKIM MAYERS
