This is not the end, this is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision

But you listen through 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 fear

Until we dead it forget it let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come 

wishing I had strength to stand

This was not what I had planned

It's out of my control

Flying at the speed of light 

thoughts were spinning in my head

So many things were left unsaid

It's hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I want to 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

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I want to do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven't got

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 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 want to 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 through 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 fear

Until we dead it forget it let it all disappear
