lyrics

Board up the windows and lock all the doors.
You can't see what's on the inside without ripping up the floors.
Burn it down to ash and rebuild from the ground up.
Just to over exaggerate a conscious thought.

I've found a church where the floors shake, the ground rumbles, and the earth quakes.
I've found a place where my heart crumbles and my body aches.

When the weight of the world comes crashing down.
It'll rip us to pieces, it'll throw us around.

It'll take all we have, pull us to the ground. Just to make us think
There's no hope to be found.

It's possible that no one even knows my name.
It's probable that just about everyone thinks the same.
Life's just a popularity contest. I guess.
I guess I just forgot to cast my vote.

A forgetful mess I have become. A mess, but that's only half of it.
Falsify faith. Blindly walk where you can't see.
Walk with him, and spend life on your knees.
You'll spend life on your knees.

I refuse to be a brainwashed puppet for a savage child race.
Make an excuse and check it twice.
Tell yourself it's right and roll the dice.

Leave yourself to chance and take a chance to lose.
It's all a choice. And now's your time to choose.

When the weight of the world comes crashing down.
It'll rip us to pieces it'll throw us around.
It'll take all we have, pull us to the ground. Just to make us think
There's no hope to be found.

I'll say it one more time. Life's a popularity contest.
Clearly I'm just not too high in the polls.
