Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

So please don't ask me how
I ended up at my wits end and breaking down
Pages torn from books we never read,
Cuz we're plugged into this grid
Don't pull this plug right now,
Or then we really have to live
[pre-chorus]
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven't done
It's not the end, that I fear with each breathe
It's life that scares me to death
[chorus]
When we built these dreams on sand,
How they all slipped through our hands
And this might be our only chance
Let's take this one day at a time,
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
The time that we kill keeps us alive
Your words won't save me now
I'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow
Get a grip on yourself is what they say,
Every hour every day
Hands over my ears,
I've been screaming all these years!
[pre-chorus/chorus]
[bridge]
We came in search of answers!
We left empty handed again!
Shots fired into the sky
Are now returning!
Where the **** will you hide!
From the laughter in the closet, some alive
But the door hinges are squeeking letting in thin shards of light
And now our hands extending outward,
Quiet comfort they invite,
And do we dare take what they offer?
Do we step into the light?
[prechorus/chorus]
[chorus]
