Between the Lines

But when the spotlight comes, where have the words gone?
The fall from grace is paved with your lies
Stand strong behind your beliefs
If you can even manage to stand at all

What happened to the blood pumping through your veins?
You've scattered the ashes of an iron faith
The sun fades below the horizon
And you say goodbye to what used to be

They try to hang pictures of perfection on every wall and every corner
But the negatives fail to transfer to the final print
Defy the leader
Step away from the line

No one will ever get the best of me
What do you stand for?
Tell me now, what do you stand for?

So sing your song with the highest choir
Preach from the top of the world
Share your voice
Admiration of the highest degree

What happened to the blood pumping through your veins?
You've scattered the ashes of an iron faith
The sun fades below the horizon
And you say goodbye to what used to be

And now I'm washing my hands of this and leaving it all behind
I'll wash my hands and leave it behind
And leave it behind
