Best of Us

When he wakes up from his sleep
 They realize he's gone too deep
 There's nothing left but empty seats
 And hollow skulls with no teeth
 Every now and then I see a sign of hope
 And I try to keep it all together
 Losing just a little bit of rope
 That's tied to the end of rotting dream
 The tide is high and the moon is red
 The best of us are left for dead
 Well the bridges burn in the amber fire
 And there's no way back and no desire
 The buildings have all collapsed
 And all the saints are dressed as rats
 The nomads have nowhere to go
 When the darkness starts to take control
 Every now and then I see a sign of hope
 And I try to keep it all together
 Losing just a little bit of rope
 That's tied to the end of rotting dream
 But everybody knows that the only way to go
 Is south of the border into places unknown
 Where the stars meet the sands and the man
 Is burning bright
 Every now and then I see a spark of light
 That flickers in the shadows of the tainted minds
 While they're slipping through the fingers
 Of the man in the silver suit
 But everybody knows that the price was pretty low
 As we sold what was left of our occupied homes
 In exchange for a grave on a mountain full of gold
 You can run you can hide
 But in the end its all one ride
 So we take and we maim
 While we beg for another day
 This is all that we are
 This is all that we are
 This is all that we are
 This is all that we are
