[Verse 1]
Been driving this road for the third straight day
As the thought from the past start to pick my brain
And now I feel like screaming to the world
‘Cause this highway’s going nowhere
And the lines have all been blurred by the rain that's falling down in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
So I clear the windshield just to find another cross to mark the passing of a life
It's a crystal-clear reminder that all things come to an end
And I wonder when that end will come for me
[Chorus]
When the lights go down
And the clocks time out
And the bells just don't chime anymore
Is it tragedy that we can't see what lies on the other side of every single smile?
[Verse 2]
I've been asking myself for the third straight night if there's truth in the writings that shape our lives
And now I feel like screaming to the world
Do these sermons run in circles or are they spoken by design to erase the thoughts of insecurity?
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe we’re just never meant to find the answer to the question we've all kept inside
Give me something to believe in
Give me anything at all
‘Cause right now this world just feels like it’s too small
[Chorus]
When the lights go down
And the clocks time out
And the bells just don't chime anymore
Is it tragedy that we can't see what lies on the other side of every single smile?
[Bridge]
I won't cry, not tonight
I won't lie down without a fight
I won't cry, not tonight
I won't lie down
[Chorus]
When the lights go down
And the clocks time out
And the bells just don't chime anymore
Is it tragedy that we can't see what lies on the other side of every single smile?
[Chorus]
When the lights go down
And the clocks time out
I won't lie down without a fight
Is it tragedy that we can't see?
I won't lie down without a fight
