Perish

Some could run with nothing left to lose
Waste of time or a better excuse
So you look for someone who don't know her right is wrong
Maybe not but don't believe it trust the lead so long
Couldn't see the valley drawn into my eyes
Perfect place we live in they said it was alive
So you speak of sorrow, do you know your place
Fear it like the silence it takes up no space

Ooh these voices tell me what they see
Ooh yeah they know what's cold or kind
Ooh with silence run from open arms
You don't know who I am, but you wan to get inside my mind

Don't remind me of a time that all is well
Don't you tell me when I've built my own cell
When you waste your life, wish for things you don't need
Turn the page, another set of lines you can't read
I could do it for you, maybe for myself
Avoided and forgotten and trust to my health
Some would call me lazy, or I just don't care
Gave me something better than these worn out shoes I wear

Ooh these voices tell me what they see
Ooh yeah they know what's cold or kind
Ooh with silence run from open arms
You don't know who I am, but you wan to get inside my mind

Dance for rain and watch your allies drown
Put up walls and watch them come down
Would you try again, would you fall with all you see
State your case and leave what's broken be
Could I sell a story, less than I'll get back
Never was a writer to keep it close to fact
Seem to please the masses, seem to lose their way
Never learned the value of a separate set I say

Ooh these voices tell me what they see
Ooh yeah they know what's cold or kind
Ooh with silence run from open arms
You don't know who I am, but you want to get inside

I could be the one to see this scene set loose
I am not the one to free this land for use
I could be the one to take your home, well
I am not the one to leave what's well alone
I am not the one
I am not the one
I am not the one
Oh I am not the one to know
