This is how it began
This is how it was
When we didn't have a clue, now here we are

It was long foreshadowed
We didn't realize
That it was our last chance, time to go inside


You didn't say goodbye, you
You rather carved these lines

About your fears, about your anger and about your pride
It was a bitter mixture
And everything we've seen

It built without a question on all that we've ever been

Everything we've been

Everything we've seen
All that we had built on all that, built on all that we had
Everything we've been

Everything we've seen
All that we had built on all that, built on all that we had been


This is how it started
This is how it went
When we didn't have a plan, and it went bad

That's the way we were but
The days aren't coming back
And still we are staying here, tell me why the heck

You didn't say goodbye, you
You rather carved these lines
About your fears, about your anger and about your pride


Everything we've been
Everything we've seen

All that we had built on all that, built on all that we had
Everything we've been
Everything we've seen

All that we had built on all that, built on all that we had been

This is how it was

This is what we've seen
This is just the way that we have been
This is how we went

Went through hell and back
Burned our ivory skin and broke our necks


Everything we've been
Everything we've seen
All that we had built on all that, built on all that we had

Everything we've been
Everything we've seen
All that we had built on all that, built on all that we had been


This is the road we went down
This is the way we all know

This is the path we must go
This is the way
This is the road we went down

This is the way we are now
And now we're dying alone
This is the way we were
