lyrics

How can I make
Something that's half as great
Usher forth a righteous meaning
As will allows

This part's the one I hate
It's the one I can't create
Someday it'll come out front
I'll bleed it out

There it goes
It's in that direction
Like a rose
A symbol of perfection

But how can I? (Relay this)
How can I?
How can I? (make something that's half as great)
Oh uh oh

It's hard to bear the taste
Of the memories I've replaced
Cut forth, the wheat and chaff
Remainders old

There it goes
It's in that direction
(Hmmm)
Like a rose
A symbol of perfection

This work will dissipate
A memoir of my hopeless fate
A collection of my life
Written in prose

I suppose there's no debate
I'd sooner rather it be late
Holy remnants held alight
As fate unfolds

Aspire to realign
The cogs and wheels within my mind
And to revel in these thoughts
Shown after goad

I plea to prove the worth of
Valid statements I've unearthed

But how can I? (oh uh oh)
How can I?
How can I?

The rage
The fire
The underneath desire
To trust
That dream
A sycophantic theme
Oh, to hate
The call
The murder of it all
We travel back and forth
To adapt or to evolve
Another wasted breath
And our future's put on stall
But we're here and in the now
Taking final curtain calls
Singing

I can't die
I can't die
I don't wanna sleep
My heart's still beatin'
But it's losing its time
Let's all join hands
Let's put up a fight
That our only meaning
Is "I will survive"
And to this effort scream
How can I?

Breathe for the first time
And see with my own eyes
How can I? (oh uh oh)
