Waiting for the end

Lyrics

This is not the end  
This is not the beginning,  
Just a voice like a riot  
Rocking every revision  
But you listen to the tone  
And the violent rhythm  
And though the words sound steady  
Something empty's within 'em  
  
We say Yeah!  
With fists flying up in the air  
Like we're holding onto something  
That's invisible there,  
'Cause we're living at the mercy of  
The pain and the fear  
Until we get it, forget it,  
Let it all disappear.  
  
Waiting for the end to come  
Wishing I had strength to stand  
This is not what I had planned  
It's out of my control  
  
Flying at the speed of light  
Thoughts we're spinning in my head  
So many things were left unsaid  
It's hard to let you go  
  
(Oh) I know what it takes to move on,  
I know how it feels to lie,  
All I wanna do  
Is trade this life for something new  
Holding on to what I haven't got  
  
Sitting in an empty room  
Trying to forget the past  
This was never meant to last,  
I wish it wasn't so  
  
(Oh) I know what it takes to move on,  
  
I know how it feels to lie,  
All I wanna do  
Is trade this life for something new  
Holding on to what I haven't got  
  
Yeah, yeah  
What was left when that fire was gone?  
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong  
All caught up in the eye of the storm  
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on  
And I don't even know what kind of things I've said  
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead  
So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?  
The hardest part of ending is starting again!  
  
All I wanna do  
Is trade this life for something new  
Holding on to what I haven't got  
  
This is not the end  
This is not the beginning,  
Just a voice like a riot  
Rocking every revision  
But you listen to the tone  
And the violent rhythm  
Though the words sound steady  
Something empty's within 'em  
(Holding on to what I haven't got)  
  
We say Yeah!  
With fists flying up in the air  
Like we're holding onto something  
That's invisible there,  
'Cause we're living at the mercy of  
The pain and the fear  
Until we get it, forget it,  
Let it all disappear  
(Holding on to what I haven't got! )
