Welcome home while away

They have tampered with the locks

And your things they rearranged

We propose a better way

Said the note they left behind

In their wake of disarray you fell in place

Don't fall asleep they'll find us here

I know a place to disappear

As a voice proclaimed

What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

What we know is almost nothing at all

But we are what we are 'til the day we die

Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on

'Til we don't have the strength to go on

Let us cry let us be

Let us open up our hearts

Without fear of anything

Faith alone is all we need

To traverse this burning bridge

Now before it gets too late

You claim it's fine

But the heart reveals what smiles betray

Your sad sad eyes gave you away

But don't you know

What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

What we know is almost nothing at all

But we are what we are 'til the day we die

Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on

'Til we don't have the strength to go on

Our shoulders bear an awful weight

But still we trudge on just the same

Our colors run then leave a stain

They blacken our once honest name

But how can we argue tell me

Over the fury and the fire

How many times can we tell you

That we are not like you we see right through

The poor disguise that fails to fool

The wary eye that's trained on you

What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

What we know is almost nothing at all

But we are what we are 'til the day we die

Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on

'Til we don't have the strength to go on

What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

What we know is almost nothing at all

But we are what we are 'til the day we die

Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on

'Til we don't have the strength to go on

Yeah we don't have the strength to go on
