Song lyrics

We don't sleep very much,
These triggers ache for the touch,
Where's the strength we relied on?
Fear alone, like a crutch,
Maybe that's what keeps us up
All night with the light on.

All these screams emulate
Lives that no longer take place.
Can this be what we've become?
Paper thin, overweight,
Pills to arouse or sedate,
Still we don't know what we want.

We can't let go,
Can't you see?
To lose control
Is to be...

Finally free!
First a spark,
Then a flame,
Now a fire,
We explode
Into the darkest of nights.
Disconnect,
Cut the cord,
Lines are dead.
Now they'll know
With everything comes a price.

And each day we are torn
Between the right and the wrong,
Between life and convenience.
Why do we sleep? Why complain?
There's always channels to change,
It's like elective amnesia,
As we grow older in this place,
Let's just start over,
Let's erase
What they've made!

First a spark,
Then a flame,
Now a fire,
We explode
Into the darkest of nights.
Disconnect,
Cut the cord,
Lines are dead,
Now they'll know
With everything comes a price.

It could be minutes away,
It could be hours or days,
Before the bottom falls out,
Before the ground gives way,
Into this debt we are born,
A debt we try to repay,
And yet we blacken the sky,
Smoke rising out of the flames,
Now they'll know...

First a spark,
Then a flame,
Now a fire,
We explode,
Into the darkest of nights.
Disconnect,
Cut the cord,
Lines are dead,
Now they'll know
With everything comes a price.

First a spark,
Then a flame,
Now a fire,
We explode,
We explode,
With everything comes a price,
Disconnect,
Cut the cord,
Lines are dead,
We explode,
We explode.
