[Intro] [Verse 1] The world itself consumed Man, that's the only truth And what we loved was not enough Even though we wanted to I learned it sick in bed Mining golden vapors Regrets like charms laid end to end And other sweet divinities x3 [Interlude] [Verse 2] And this I learned and thus I gleaned What we loved was not enough But kiss it quick and rise again Kiss it quick and rise again x5 What we loved was not enough But kiss it quick and rise again x2 [Interlude] [Bridge repeated through Verse 2] And the days come when we no longer feel [Verse 3] There'll be war in our cities
There'll riots at the mall There'll be blood on our doorsteps And panics at the ball All our cities gonna burn All our bridges gonna snap All our pennies gonna rot Lightning roll across our tracks All our children gonna die x4 Then the west will rise again x2 The west will rise again x2 (bridge fades away) [Interlude] [Outro (Bridge Returns) to fade] So good night vain children Tonight is yours The lights are yours If you'd just ask for more Than poverty and war If you'd just ask for more What we loved was not enough x7 But kiss it quick and rise again
