Where Light Won't Follow

How can we say we're sorry with these lights so low?
Our great mistakes were best played in the dark (screaming out their names)
We passed the message, we drew beautifully in red
A little faster now and we can keep this ride out of control
Still we're chasing the strangest faces
While trying to erase the mars we'll walk upon their graves (still shuddering)
We live for nightfall with solace in solitude
Another day, another act to prove you're stronger than you are
Don't let them take what's ours tonight
And leave the world its hesitations
Don't share the chains they spread in spite
Decide to lead where light won't follow
Here, fire kissed, we stand above the fall
Here, dearly missed, the strength to gain control
And all this time spent focused, imperfections we proclaim
By nothing more than candle light we give the beast a name
With hands against the wall
Inside we hear their call
To question is blasphemy
With empty hearts we'll tear this portrait down
We take these words of honesty (they'll never listen now)
And hide them away (with empty hearts we fall)
And all that we are, victims of apathy (all that we are)
We're numbered and named
With hands against the wall
Inside we hear their call
To question is blasphemy
With empty hearts we'll tear this portrait down
Innocence, it makes no sense
With bloody hands, we're left to stand alone
