| Have you ever heard that voice of reason whisper in your ear?
|
| Oh did it say the things you never want to hear?
|
| Tell me, where’d that angel perched upon your shoulder go?
|
| Did you pick her up and swallow her whole?
|
| And do you ever miss the balance of the back and forth…
|
| Or is it peaceful now without the extra noise?
|
| Tell me, where’d that devil perched upon on your shoulder go?
|
| Did it make your head its home?
|
| Wouldn’t you love to be inspired?
|
| Let the thought erode your fears.
|
| Is it enough to be admired?
|
| Does it get you through the years?
|
| Stay calm. |
| You’ve got to carry on, oh, even with the weight of all you’ve done.
|
| How does it feel to know they look up to you cause they’re all so young?
|
| And that’s why the charges come…
|
| I wanna know, how many memories do you pray to forget?
|
| Tell me, were they worth it?
|
| Wouldn’t you love to be inspired?
|
| Let the thought erode your fears
|
| Is it enough to be admired?
|
| Does it get you through the years?
|
| Well, I can’t wait to watch your empire crumble.
|
| Can’t wait to watch the walls cave in.
|
| For only when all you have is rubble, can you truly build again.
|
| If you spend all of your time feeling you’re empty inside,
|
| then you should question everything you know about.
|
| If you spend all of your time ignoring every sign
|
| then you should question how you’ll ever make it out.
|
| Hey, give me a reason not to cause some unrest.
|
| Tell the press, stop your checks till you’re homeless.
|
| Hey, give me a reason you’re entitled to this.
|
| I’ll bet you question how you’ll ever…
|
| And the levy’s 'bout to break!
|
| Yeah, you let the discord build 'til you’re sick from the static and the devil
|
| in your head will yell!
|
| Careful, better be careful what you wish for.
|
| Careful, better be careful what you wish…
|
| Wouldn’t you love to be inspired?
|
| Let the thought erode your fears
|
| Is it enough to be admired?
|
| Does it get you through the years?
|
| Well, I can’t wait to watch your empire crumble.
|
| Can’t wait to watch the walls cave in.
|
| For only when all you have is rubble, can you truly build again.
|
| Careful, better be careful what you wish for.
