lyrics

Alone in my skin again, feeling my feet hit the floor
I waste away wondering why people say there's nothing more
Than the mass of flesh and bone that makes the beating of our hearts
And the swirling around of chemicals that makes the longing start in our minds

These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies
These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies

Alone in my head again, I think the things this sickness has brought
They said one hundred thirty dead and more are bleeding out, when will this stop?
These violent acts of men just match the violence in our chests
These lies upon our lips just match the lies that are found buried in my chest

These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies
These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies

God, we need your peace on earth, come rolling like a flood
Into the desert of our hearts, into the cancer of our minds
Bring restoration to our broken homes, our violence-stricken streets
We need you

These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies
These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies
