[Verse 1] Im watching the wind take everyone off of their feet And place them on cars in the middle of the street Lights flicker on and off but they never seem to go out Theyll burn the brightest when no one is around [Chorus] Throw your flares into the dark sea Well swim and search until we find thee Buried beneath the coral and the sunlight Well try light the way x2 [Verse 2] No Riddle nor rhyme can ever explain why The conscious mind when it runs dry The conscious mind has nothing to hide When left alone, their crawling around in me Their crawling around in me Go on and be gone Drift undertow [Chorus] Throw your flares into the dark sea Well swim and search until we find thee Buried beneath the coral and the sunlight Well try light the way x2 [Verse 3] Sinking down and further from what I was once Reaching up and grabbing air and hoping no one Sees me scared to death from being grown up I am gone and looking down from every ceiling [Chorus]x2 Throw your flares into the dark sea Well swim and search until we find thee Buried beneath the coral and the sunlight Well try light the way x2 [Verse 4] You can laugh all you want Laugh all you want Ill find myself on top of the world With a lightning bolt in the palm of my hand Ready to strike over and over and over again Ill bestow upon you the burden of Love and its unkempt malevolent teeth Just smiling down at me smiling down at me Its taunting me its taunting me Why didnt I leave? x4 [Outro] The problem with compromise is that one of us is never right The vanity of human heads will kill the worlds occupants You are quivering when you speak x2 I know youre scared so follow me Ill lead us out of misery And When the ground begins to crack Just know that I will have your back You are quivering when you speak x2 There are ashes now where people were The greener grass is brown like dirt Apocalypse has reached its end Its time to begin new again You are quivering when you speak x6
