When rain will never fall
And darkness begins to call
To anyone who will listen
Under the influence
Beneath the star's brilliance
Where we're secretly wishing
Can't keep up so we break down
Praising idols who wait around
We wave goodbye to our yesterday's
We watch as they go
And then we just stay in place
Cause we really don't know
What we're doing, we don't ask why
We give them our trust
Silently we look to the sky
As we turn into dust
Don't question or act afraid
Mask all of your raging hate
They say we're safe behind these bars
We've been told we'll be freed with time
Follow orders and stay in line
Someday we'll take back what's ours
Can't keep up so we break down
Cursing those idols who wait around
We wave goodbye to our yesterday's
We watch as they go
And then we just stay in place
Cause we really don't know
What we're doing, we don't ask why
We give them our trust
Silently we look to the sky
As we turn into dust
Embracing the pain as the days drag on
It's the only thing that will push me along
I can't find a way out
My hope is clouded by doubt
We wave goodbye to our yesterdays
As they're free to go
And then we just stay in place
Cause we really don't know
What we're doing, we don't ask why
We gave them our trust
Silently we look to the sky
As we turn into dust
