Hidden in Plain View lyrics
Album: Hidden in Plain View [2003]

And there's villians in their closets
and theives beneath their beds
And business men in mirrors
with guns against their heads
Stepstools beneath their ankles
nooses tied around their throats
Sharpening their switchblades
and citing in their skulls
singing no one sleeps tonight
till everything is burned
and everyone is sacrificed
No one sleeps tonight
till everything is burned
and everyone is
Maxing out their credit cards on ammuntion
They're polishing their rifles and they're polishing their guns
cause the church is drenched in fire
the hall's under attack
They put the hostages with numbers of councilmen
they got knives against their backs
No one sleeps tonight
till everything is burned
and everyone is sacrificed
No one sleeps tonight
till everything is burned
and everyone is sacrificed
And to saves our souls
or what's left of them
Desperate hearts
and so they sing
and they sing it loud
and they sing it clearly
for their faith
Whats left of the dreams we have? Whats left of the hope we have?
Nothing, nothing at all

somewhere beyond the unforgettable days
we can find it in ourselves to live our lives again
your misplaced in time, authoring your tragedy
but your dreams and lies
never fill the voids in me
so the show goes on without you
foundations fall that were once built strong around you
and it shows all around you
these foundations that were once built strong (so strong, so strong)
so you lost the words, you lost the words to say
you lost your voice and lost your mind again
so back it up, rewind, white it out and just forget
just close your eyes and promise
to never open them again
and the show goes on without you
foundations fall that were once built strong around you
and it shows all around you
these foundations fall that were once built strong
i'm sorry i'll be gone next summer
so don't wait for me
i'm sorry i'll be gone next summer
so don't wait for me
but you said, i need you more than i ever did, so please
don't go, plese don't go
don't go, don't go, don't go
so don't go

Its 6am, open roads and open skies
under this Wyoming sunrise
a close encounter with
the emptiness and nothingness
21 years out on the run from our small hometowns
you could hear a whisper in the wind
filling me with confidence
so i took advise from the headlights
it made it clear it opened up my eyes
and it opened up my mind
holding on forever to these dreams
we made together
i'm never gonna let them die
cause i couldn't bare the sight
there is not a word spoken
living in the moment
we're broken down but we're not broken
it will be alright
the world lied awake
as the haze burned away
the wheel seemed to turn on its own
on its way toward the horizons golden
so sunrise i'm holding on to you
lift me up, drop me down
through the sounds and i'll float
across the coasts, the unknowns
or in our minds where no one knows
this is where we choose to run away
from all the things we just can't take
all the forced smiles and dreams that washed away
holding on forever to these dreams
we made together
i'm never gonna let them die
cause i couldn't bare the sight
there is not a word spoken
living in the moment
we're broken down but we're not broken
it will be alright
hold on, hold tight, be strong, it will be alright

september, autumn skies are closing in
and the mistake your reality
at best has left you broken
with wounds that re-open
on every brink of sleep
and a fire in your heart
that never dies and never seizes
and it goes up in flames
your world is torched away
showered by the embers of your fate
being burned by every
opportunity you threw away
he is regretting every moment
he is regretting every day
fueling the fire, burning desires
which fuel the pain
and it goes up in flames
your world is torched away
so let it go up in flames
your world is torched away
and the fire in your heart is fueling the pain
