Paul's Lament - No Bragging Rights

Why are you here?

Why are you mad?

Why are you here?

Why are you mad?

Is 6 feet the extent of your love?

Your trust?

Is that all that stands between us?

I’ll find a way to make this right

To shield the wind

And hold your light

Ask for change, pray for rain

Let it fall, let it break

Let it crash into the sea

Blinding lights of search and rescue fall off course

Let it be sure and tall

Let it question who we are

Break the framework that’s enslaved us for so long

Where’s the point that we break?

Where’s the point that we state

That these lines are about us?

Let the stories unfold

Let the lies that we told come back and expose us

Refuse the idea of failure

Accept the fact that it’s over

All this time, you were wrong

Let it fall, let it break

Let it crash into the sea

Blinding lights of search and rescue fall off course

Let it be sure and tall

Let it question who we are

Break the framework that’s enslaved us for so long

Can tons of despair be held up by hopes alone?

The damage kings can do before their dethrone

When you finally realize that it’s no one’s fault but your own

Her: Start the countdown

Him: What took years to build, crumbled away

Her: It’s almost time

Him: So, why should this be any different?

Her: Mark this building

Him: From these tombs I fear no martyrs will rise

Her: If we’re still inside…

Both: At least not on my behalf

To scream in vain «All Hands On Deck»

But not one’s left

Accept your fate

And go down with the ship
