I feel their eyes all over me
It’s lookin' like conspiracy
I'm out of friends that I can trust
Maybe they’re on to us
My heart is filled with suspicion
I've got a fearful condition
Its more than just paranoia
Maybe they’re on to us
Maybe they’re on to us
You're not the only one
To sleep through the firing squad
To scream through the night at God
Wake in a pouring sweat you hear the sound
Can't even turn around
Hand reaching from the ground
Who's gonna save us
Who's gonna save us now
I’m looking up in the rear view
Crowds that I can't seem to push through
Strangers and operations
Maybe they’re on to us
My hands are shakin' like a leaf
Can't even see in front of me
I know its just paranoia
Maybe they’re on to us
Maybe they’re on to us
You're not the only one
To sleep through the firing squad
To scream through the night at God
Wake in a pouring sweat you hear the sound
Can't even turn around
Hand reaching from the ground
Who's gonna save us
Who's gonna save us now
Who's gonna save us now
I’m not the only one
The fear is like a flood
It’s movin' on me now
The screams they catch us
The screams they catch us
The fear is like a flood
It’s movin' on me now
The screams they catch us
Who’s gonna save us now
You're not the only one
To sleep through the firing squad
To scream through the night at God
Wake in a pouring sweat you hear the sound
Can't even turn around
Hand reaching from the ground
Who's gonna save us
Who's gonna save us now

This song was written about their fear that people would find the personal lives in the band hypocritical against the overall message. But haven't we each been, something opposed to our own beliefs and morals...identities and sacraments? This has been a favorite band of mine for a long time. I find them honest, and even if their lives don't parallel every word...they are trying. Aren't we all?
Yes, we are. Nobody is perfect. I love the song & you. xo

ReplyDeleteThere are so few of us who are confident enough not to live in personas! I don't know any because I am onto them.
