"why tread this water anymore when so many have drown in despair?
the tides are relentless"
THEN WHY AREN'T WE RELENTLESS?!
"we're just needles in a haystack,
so why try? why beat yourself up?
it's not a compromise, it's just life
you have no choice
become the violence
tell the lie
don't you see we can't fight the tide?"
are we fading away into the grey?
coasting through the fog of right and wrong
lost at sea, lost at sea
but i still believe
that we can remember who we are
so disconnected by this cheap contentment
these crowns have slipped over our eyes and i just want to find
the way out of this kingdom, this prison, this battlefield
i renounce my crown.
i would rather drown.
are we fading away into the grey?
coasting through the fog of right and wrong
lost at sea, lost at sea
anchored by our apathy
cause when there's no shore in site it's hard to believe
don't mistake what's easy for what's right
don't mistake what's right for this half-life of scraping by
the world enslaved so we can sail this dismal night
we are cowards, kings who say it's "too hard" to even try
you say you have no pull? come on!
are we fading away into the grey?
coasting through the fog of right and wrong
lost at sea, lost at sea
so desperate, i'm praying
to a god i don't believe in that we can find our way home
are we fading away into the grey?
coasting through the fog of right and wrong
lost at sea, lost at sea
these waters may claim me
but i will sink with my integrity
i renounce my crown
this kingdom's going down
our drive is stronger than the tide
we decide if we decide.
