I try to tell myself that I don't know how I got here Views of empty plains And empty skies strikingly clear Nothing withers nothing dies Nothing flourishes or thrives I try to tell myself that I don't know how I got here With no birds to sing their song And no wind to call the breeze Without your voice to break the silence I'm the war, I am the violence Just the noise of police sirens Calling forth from the horizon Oh, without anyone, anyone at all To stand and fight Without comparison, how can I recall What's wrong and right? (Don't pick a fight) (I'm here tonight) (To live my life) (From wrong and right) I start to walk across this land With my head facing down Muttering comforts to myself Without making a sound From the sights beyond my eyes I can't tell if I'm alive I'll keep on walking through this land With my head facing down In this stillness, I'm not calm With this stillness, I can't find peace Without your voice to break the silence I'm the war, I am the violence Just the noise of police sirens Calling forth from the horizon Oh, without anyone, anyone at all To stand and fight Without comparison, how can I recall What's wrong and right? Without dark, there is no light Without earth, there is no sky Without peace, there is no fight Without wrong, there is no right Without a beast to cause destruction Or a love to show affection Without a past meant for reflection Calling forth from the horizon Oh, without anyone, anyone at all To stand and fight Without comparison, how can I recall What's wrong and right? I don't want to be alone I don't want to be on my own I don't want to live without a home Don't want to pretend that I don't know (Don't pick a fight) (I'm here tonight) (To live my life) (From wrong and right)
