and so now       the end of the night comes       every time we say 'hi'       instead of running out       we should be showing how       the fear doesn't have to beat you down       wide awake we draw these lines       convinced there's another place; another time       to reconcile...make this far-off life worthwhile       this word evolution becomes meaningless       a mechanism we've created       a singular existence:       lock up (let's shut it down)       how could we be so blind,       thinking that our finite lives       are timeless       i swear it's worth it       to go back and recognize       the silence that we've put in place of       speaking out       we should be showing how       the fear doesn't have to beat you down       know dilema       in eyes that sparkle hatred       fresh ink on       these distractions that make it:       so hard       so long       to reach anyone but yourself       so you can throw hard       but you still throw wrong       all it does is lock you up
