Get up, get your feet on the ground
That's how it has to start
You can't
The pain weighs too much
You lie, and bury your face in the dark
You know, what you've got everyone has got
We're all waiting
We survive
We slowly fall apart but
Get up, fix a smile on your face
Ignore all the endings
Even though we all end up the same
Connect and give her the secrets of your heart
Let go and let him know he's the only one you'll ever love
Hold whatever vague belief keeps you from feeling
The passage of time
Time racing to stop your heart
Pretend pretend pretend my friend
Anything to keep living
As if your life will never end
There's no hope for more to come
This here is all there is
What your eyes can see
What your hands can touch
I've found the things that give me peace
That's what I'm chasing before the circuits die in me
Beauty and light...
