lyrics
This is Not (Ending)
Our pride is our only foe,
we won't have to fight for long.
Our pride is our only foe.
There's a crack in the framework, who will cast the first stone? Put your words into motion,
forget the masquerade and stomp those devils out.
My mind is an ocean, neither here nor there.
We're such delicate vessels, if we don't stay the course, we'll suffer the same fate.
Our ship has been swallowed whole, into the belly of the blue, our names are echoes upon the shore, and we're gone before we ever knew.
Now we watch and we prey on young ideas and foolish dreams.
We divert and betray everything we promised.
Now we scheme and deceive, curse and spread rumors of lust and deceit, close your eyes and you'll see us.
I've gotta admit I've loved these prison walls,
the way the structure seems to encompass all my dreaming. There's a certain safety found in giving in, but I've never felt too inclined to bask in all my scheming.
They told us we're the captains of nowhere,
we're the offspring of nothing, but I'll tell you the truth, it's what you make it to be!
I am not finished here, this is not an ending.
I am the only one, keeping me from seeing.
I am not finished here, this is not an ending,
I am not finished here, this is not ending.
