Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels? The way we live, the way we die What a tragedy, I'm so terrified Daydreamers please wake up We can't sleep no more [Verse 2] Love, don't make no sense Ask your neighbor The winds have changed, it seems That they've abandoned us The truth hurts, and so does yesterday What good is love, if it burns bright and explodes in flames [Hook] (I thought every living thing had love, but are) Are we really living, or just walking dead now (Are we walking dead now?)
