If everything was in its place, I'd be without disgrace
I could learn to face things without fear, without reserve
Not being the cautious one, following the herd
Everybody's moving into twos and threes
Everybody's looking straight at me
Because a life, a life, a life, deserves more than learning how to die
With confident arms, this bell could ring
Instead of grabbing at the shortest string
Instead of grabbing at the shortest string
Now all the times that we have fought, forgiven or forgot
Let them fade away into the night, like dying lights
And all the lonely times, say they're gonna stop
Everybody's moving into twos and threes
Everybody's looking straight at me
Because a life, a life, a life, deserves more than learning how to die
With confident arms, this bell could ring
Instead of grabbing at the shortest string
Instead of grabbing at the shortest string
No more laments, no more regrets, just the intent to break free out of cement
Stress to the right, stress to the left, a bitter heart that gets ripped apart
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go don't go
A life, a life, a life, deserves more than learning how to die
With confident arms, this bell could ring
Instead of grabbing at the shortest string
Instead of grabbing at the shortest string
