I held the promise too hard, took me a little too far outside the waters of love And coming out of a dream, I was in the machine looking down from above And from this uninspired view, I say the truth of all I knew falling from the sky, but It's all right, it's all right, don't try to save me now because it's all right, all right Well, I was lost at the gate, a victim of fate, another innocent son And with a cynical grace, you showed me a place where I could never be from Now this acid skyline tears my lungs, leaves its flavor on my tongue Holds me like a vise, but It's all right, it's all right, don't try to save me now because it's all right, all right Well, I touched the core and got my fingers burned, but I loosed the chains around myself I'm ready now, I'm ready to be heard Now every day's a metaphor for someone who expected more just to be denied, but It's all right, it's all right, don't try to save me now because it's all right, all right
