lyrics

Paragons are obsolete
I'll get back on my feet
Paranoia's a deadly drug
When you lace it with defeat
But life ain't always what it seems to be
I've got a waist bin full of shattered glass dreams
But I'm through with the war
now I'll live for peace
I'm through with disorder
I'll pick up the pieces

Whoa oh oh…the pieces
Whoa oh oh…of peace of mind

We are everything we wanted
Back from the dead I roar
From the parted seas
This life's running wild
Not breaking for speed
This clarity's reminding me
That everything we ever wanted's inside you'll see

I'm just wine waiting to turn into water free and clear
I'm just a wave of sound that you can't yet hear
This restlessness
This breathlessness
Had left me with defenselessness
But I'm through with the war
Now I'll live for peace
I'm through with disorder
I'll pick up the pieces

Inside
Just took a little while to find it
Inside
No, I'm not dead yet
Now I'm finally alive
