lyrics

When all the competition has been won
and all the victors settle in to what they've done,
we'll see that no one really wins if we're all dying in the end
and we never had a reason to begin.

But I need something to get me through the day.
So give me stories, give me roles that I can play.
I need a brightly packaged prize, that I can follow to my grave,
because it isn't from my death I need be saved.

And give me rest,
because the wars I've won have left me tired,
and I still can't sleep
in a dark so deep.
So if you've got a light, shine it on me.

I can't be trusted with opinions.
I've got no iron in my blood,
and I'm still satisfied with pleasantries and hugs
from people just as desperate for some love.

'Cause we are tools of all the tools that we have made
as if the men who fashioned them were less afraid
of being left out in the cold,
as if they knew we weren't alone.
But I'm still lonely, are you lonely too?
If you're alone, I'll be alone with you.

But give me rest,
because the wars I've won have left me tired,
and I still can't sleep
in a dark so deep.
So if you've got a light, shine it on me.
Maybe I still have the strength to see.
