For the Fire - Mistake

You're lying face down on the floor
The walls are caving in but you
Refuse to forget
Close the window, lock the door, and hold your own
Raging heavy war with a diluted mindest
Oh no
They won't let you hide
You're so far off from where they want you to be
Oh no
They'll eat your hope alive
You're not living, only breathing, this is not what we need

Our minds are battle zones
And we're all pretty far from winning
This world is not our own
But we've clung to every bit of hope since the beginning
And I'm not finished yet
Won't take me down, won't take me out
Oh no
We're not finished yet
We'll be the start of the progress they've always worried about

Well, if innocence is ignorance
Then ignorance is bliss
If ignorance is bliss
Then I ought to be the happiest
I'm not, we've been caught
But we don't know what we've done
Standing in the shadows of a world that's overrun
By everything we've always been afraid of
They lay us down to sleep and say it's all that we need
But I think that it's time we wake up
And establish Who We Are instead of Who We Ought To Be

Oh God, with every breath that I take
There's another fragile shadow and I'm lost in their ways

Please don't ever listen to what the voices have to say
You've gotta run away

You Are Not A Mistake
