Nothing seems to shine when things fall apart   The best lack conviction and the worst are full of passion   Until a moment of hope or a moment of defeat   When we are standing on our own, we're on our own      What do we want to happen now   When the center cannot hold and we are left out   So what will lead our steps   The very thing we seek   What we are striving for      We are the restless   We are set apart from the dead, only dying now   We are known by what we seek   When the center cannot hold   Is it the drug or the soberness?   The failure that we feel inside when nothing seems to shine      So what do we want to happen now   If we are on our own and we are left out   If we are left out   So what will lead our steps   The very thing we seek   What we are striving for      We are the restless   We are set apart from the dead, only dying now   And we are known by what we seek   When the center cannot hold      When the center cannot hold is there anything left   I think we need to simplify it      And if when we forget   We can't find our way   We are known by what we seek   When the center cannot hold
