Dad, your boy is about to fall.
He walks the razor's edge.
He's on the brink of fading out.
He's at his bitter end.
Dad, your boy who used to run, you taught him how to crawl.
He left home to find his own, now all he had is gone.
In your eyes I see a darkness that torments you
and in your head where it dwells.
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it.
Let's walk away from this hell.
Mom, your baby is on his way.
He'll soon be at your side.
Cause he's forgotten all he's known.
A part of him has died.
Mom may never understand why baby's come and gone.
He left home to find his own, now all he has are lies.

Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen. I only tell the
truth of the feelings I'm given. Can you hear me now? Listen.
Whispers in the rain. Listen. Don't push love away, you know
you do. It's all we have. It's a chore holding onto a vision.
Don't leave her high and dry. She's the one you'll be missing.
Can you hear me now? Listen. Whispers in the rain, while you're
awake. Don't push love away, you know you do. It's all we have.
I hate to think hesitation is a burden. A bittersweet design
for a lesson you're learning. She's crying. Can you feel me
now this time? Whispers in the rain, lying awake. Don't push
love away, you know you do. It's all we have. 
Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen.

We knew you'd hate this before we wrote it. So listen up, we're
telling you before you tell us. We're not misinformed or misdirected,
functioning on your subjective. Your hatred only fuels us on.
Now how about a word or two on you? You're an alias, an email
address. We lay alot more out than you do. We won't be part
of your revolution. So listen up, we're telling you this is
a business. We're not misinformed or misdirected. We'll make
our own insurrection. So keep on publishing our wrongs. Now
how about a word or two on you? You're a paper fist, a faceless
attack. We're not about to break like you do.

We're at the top of the world, you and I. We've got alot of
time and it sure feels right. Cause you reached in your pocket
and pulled out a pass that says you can take me anywhere. Sha
la la la. Sha la la la la la la. We're on the top of the world,
here tonight. We've got alot of time and it sure feels right.
Cause I'm up here running behind you. I'm up here running in

Will there ever be time enough? Or are we just too naive? I
haven't just given up. Oh God, I still believe. Is patience
still waiting? Will I wait on my knees too? Are you laughing
at us today? And is this just one big game? Now cash me in while
you can. We never were the same. Come on. Will you ever have
all you want? And are we just next in line? Don't throw out
your one good chance. You only have this time.

Watch your mouth hold your toungue boy because you're running
out of breath running out of time before every careless word
that you utter renders you utterly useless now you're drowning
in your own saliva trying to speak yourself to the top of your
hardcore world well keep on talking just keep on rambling you've
got your mouth full now listen here's the pleasant part you
and i we fell apart why don't you make up your mind shut your
mouth burn your bridges throw your words like an attack stab
me in the wait a second what's that i just heard nevermind it's
obviously useless now you're standing on your soapbox yelling
from the rooftops everything you say is a lie now listen here's
the clever one who speaks before his thoughts are done why can't
you make up your mind watch your mouth hold your tongue some
things are better left unsaid now i hope you're pleased you
let your pride stand tall it danced within your words right
before your fall why don't you say that to my face if i told
you this was killing me would you stop?

You took away all my anger. We put away all your pride. Now
you're gone, it's plain to see we're nothing. Now you're as
the solitude of space is. We took it all away from you. You'd
like to think you made us. We took it all away, away. You let
us know that we are nothing. You took away all our pleasure.
We took away all your pain. Now we're gone it's plain to see
you're nothing. Now you're as the solitude of space is. We're
nothing without you. What you want is what you get.

Something isn't right here. You've gone and left me on the ground.
Something isn't right in this world called confusion. You gave
it all away before you could lose it. Something isn't right
here on the ground. You never said goodbye. You died. You chose
to carry on a lie. Something isn't right here. You've gone and
left me on the ground.

Here is my new disposition. You're about to understand. Our
theory is only obvious to the skeptical, and at the bitter end.
You're staring at a white page and the print is plain to see.
Now turn the page and read what's written. It's your history.
Do you understand? The dream is over. You haven't slept in years.
Don't be looking for answers. You're better following trails.
You're staring at a black screen. Your body starts to tense.
When two plus two is five or less it's time to question common
sense. Silence is a secret, a weapon in disguise. Listen to
the silence. Open up your eyes. Do you decide what you hear
and believe? Tell me who makes your mind up for you. Do you
believe what you see to be true? Can you tell me who owns the
truth? Who bought the truth? What is your disposition? Here
is my new disposition. You're about to understand. Our theory
is only obvious to the skeptical and at the bitter end.

Baby, you say, this is your life, well where is mine? 
how you gonna get there going nowhere? burn yourself out. die
too soon. you see the world is only temporary. everybody's scared
that they'll be no one too.  how you gonna hold out when
you sold out? life's a riddle. here's a clue. you see, a moment's
only temporary. let too many go, and you will be history too.
why? you ask me. why? i'll tell you. why? i will tell
you.  you gave up baby.

Did you really think that it was over when you hung up the phone
and said goodnight? And did you ever think that it would be
too much? I can't leave without saying goodbye. So did you really
think that you could take it? Could you make it alone tonight?
I never could have hoped for anything more. Be my angel if you
can, alright. You always say goodnight, and you always say goodnight.
So baby did you sleep an hour for me? How I wish I was there
right now. I wasn't going to tell you I could change things.
I'm afraid I never will know how. But I don't really think that
I can take it. Will I make it alone somehow? So hold me in your
arms before I leave you. I'll be back as soon as time allows.
You always say goodnight, and you always say goodnight. Goodnight.
