Lost in these city streets alone
Don't know the direction home
It's 3:00 a.m. and I can't fall asleep.
Nightlight skies that advertise
Offer a wandering mind's retreat
ATMs and liquor stores
The restless distressed youth's timbre
Sounds a night that's gone on far too long
The fast way out, the great escape
There is no rebel who's without a cause
All we find are the same few lives lived a million times
They're paralyzed
From the indecision to feel or think or breathe
Of what might be a waste of time
While all the kids who hate their small home towns
Write their feelings on the walls
So please remind me why were here
Because it isn't really all that clear
In what they call their paradise
They smoke the slowest suicide
Because they find they like just how it feels
Talk of modern Michelangelos
They fear the death of art and spark in Rock and Roll
You don't know your words are slurred
Strangers who know of the absurd
Say your dreams make so much sense till you wake up
Choking on the tidal wave
You realize that your time is done
All we find are the same few lives lived a million times
There is no time
For the indecision to feel or think or breathe
Of what might be a waste of time
While all the kids who hate their small home towns
Write their feelings on their skin
So please remind me why I'm here
Because it still isn't very clear
So please remind me why we're here
Noe it still isn't very clear
So please remind me why we're here
No it still isn't very clear
So please remind me why I'm here
I've still got to make it clear
