as graduation/finals are approaching, the lyrics to this song are hittin a soft spot... so i thought id share
_________________________________________
peeked through the door
it seems as though the grass was much greener before
the dead life has been washed upon the sea shore
money and greed deluded what is truly pure
and yet our flesh keeps reaching out for more
now you're trapped
a hole in the ozone
about to make the world collapse
pollution fills the air
and minds are full of twisted facts
midnight is now aborn
as people righteous laws are comin back
don't turn your head away
cause you cant get away
your mind is lost
because your spirit has been led astray
don't ever say you gave it all
if you ain't gave it all
just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
no more time
i tried to warn you all
its now approaching midnight
panics in the air
some jumping out of buildings
others on their knees in prayer
some cry out to the sky
and yell they aren't quite prepared
you looked god in the face
and said forgive me
all he did was stare
now
you can run
but where you gonna hide
from all the power of the sun
the cosmic repercussions of what humankind has done
no understanding of the fullness
everything is simply one
soon to be none again
so that new life can come again
elusions rule the mind
your soul is never gonna end
so don't pretend you gave it all
if you ain't gave it all
just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
no more time
i tried to warn you all
its now approaching midnight
so i bid farewell
no more good times or bad times
no more heaven no more hell
now brace yourself for impact
its a half hour to twelve
complete and total darkness
empty space is where you're left to dwell
and all you had to do is live today
for your tomorrow
but now its over and you're drowning
deep inside your sorrow
you could have led
but instead you confirmed
and chose to follow
so once again i bid farewell
theres only seconds left
you'd like to second guess
but through your foolish ways
you've literally beckoned death
so just don't say you gave it all
if you ain't gave it all
just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
no more time
i tried to warn you all
its now approaching midnight
