Lyrics

Giving the executioner a teethy grin
I smugly smoke my cigarette and wait for the end
Once a poster child for fiery eyes and plans
Well I prayed to the God of Hope
And Hope she made her demands
I said give me the feeling I’ve got something to give
The feeling that somehow people will hear
And she said I’ll do what I will
And suddenly

The ground began to move
And I felt just like a man for the first time since
The waves that you built up inside of me
Crashed into land
Left me choking on sand
But free now I can be

Or so I thought

Well the dreams that boiled inside of me
Foamed to a head and left me for dead
Caught with the feeling I could be real
Instead I’m standing still
Hope I wanted and hope I got
But now I’m stuck in this same damn spot
Take me back to where I was
So I can feel the rush of creation

And you know the way back home now
It’s faded once faded twice
Make me stay
Imagine never seeking desire
You let passion design you
You’ll never find a better day
I’m gonna find the faltered fame
I’m gonna make myself a place
Given one time
Given three times
You’ve gotta seek to find
Seek to find
Given one time
Given three times
Are you gonna seek to find
Seek to find
