Under a blanket of fear   Down a bottomless pit   I've been waiting for this night   To open my eyes      Wide awake I see in the dark   See the fences breaking apart   Get together with my old friends      Once again we breathe in the air   Escape to somewhere far from nowhere   Where the sky's been tainted red   Where the sky's been tainted      Up on a bank by a stream   Trading memories for dreams   Fading echoes and pictures   Oh, we burn at the seams      Wide awake I see in the dark   See the fences breaking apart   Get together with my old friends      Once again we breathe in the air   Escape to somewhere far from nowhere   Where the sky's been tainted red   Where the sky's been tainted      And now our wings are painted gold   They'll make idols of us yet   Empty promises they sold   Reach their best before dates soon      I can see it all   I can see it all   I can see it all   I can see it all
