And I Swear This Won't Hurt Me

Like false lovers, do we mean what we do?
Is it so hard to simply live with trust?
We say we're aware of we hold
Through my eyes we've all become what we love to hate

A path with no obstacles
And the dreams of those alike
They're all what we aim for
What we hope to be a part of
Should we not know by now?
We gain nothing if we lose nothing
The cost of our time leads to our prize
Like a bird on the rock, and the hunter beside
Are we so blind to deny the inevitable, the worse that will happen?

We move for the sake of motion
Live to simply see the end 
In what we do, there is no heart
No soul, no strength, no loss
Where our treasure is, our heart is
Put your back into your work?
We've taken that phrase and distorted it
To the very lie that drives us to our ending
Put our backs against the wall
Do what we do expecting nothing

Open the eyes of your hearts
Find your motives
For when we are shown the doors of choices
We can only look towards one path
We'll never look back, no we can't now
Are we who we want to be?

Our strength is the movement
Our hearts are the pulse
Stay alive and know now or never
That we've only just started
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Whoever you are
Love like you mean it
Live like there's no time
Dance until the floor cracks
And put your heart into your life
Until the last pulse, until the last breath is taken

Like a soldier who fights till the end
Our Shelter is our Attacker
Like webs we'll capture our weakness
And realize that our performance is not over
Until we've hit the last bar
Sung our last refrain
Melt the hearts of others
The hearts that ring in our ears

We're short on time, and it won't be long
So earn your life
And live like tomorrow is gone
Like tomorrow is our dead end
Like we'll sleep and never wake up
We're crying out, we're singing out
Our hearts are lifted
Heavy and light, we'll fly on wings
And thus today, we say, done
