Do You Think He Saw Us?

i've tried and tried to lose my life (trust me, i've tried)
but there it is, beneath the lies
just like the rest of them
engrved in the grave
i'm going to dig my way through to find my way out
is that okay with you?

the sun arises behind the grave
blinding the ears, deafening the eyes
drenching, pouring it's pain on us...again
no-one gets out of here alive on time
look alive and you'll be fine
(engraved into the) cave
is that okay with you?

just like the rest of them
you lie awaiting, receptive ears
it's sad you think that someone cares
look alive and you'll be fine
take me on, it's not the time
all this time we're calling out with no reply
is that okay with you?

you lie awaiting, receptive ears
happy glances let you know someone's there
all the time calling out with no reply
just one distant instance
"can't even say goodbye, hello"
don't act like you don't know
stuck on memory lane, stuck at the start
alone, together, apart
there's a hole in my head where the bullet went through
is that okay with you?

don't take me on, it's not the time
but there it is, beneath the lies
don't be phased, it's just a phase
unlike before i will not faint (ignore me)
because i've been in the puppet show, i've seen the strings
such un-attatched and wretched things
i've worked hard for this raw wrought heart
is that okay with you?

alone, together, apart
can't get to the bottom of this wretched heart
don't act like you don't know
they told me to hold this head up high
but these hands are way to fragile
and now i'm stealing my own lines
is that okay with you?

don't be phased, it's just a phase
time hadn't cracked until today
is that okay with you?
don't act like you don't know
because i've seen the puppet show, i've been the strings
don't take me on, it's not the time
and now i'm stealing my own lines
am i okay with that? (i cracked)
