"Anthem", November 4th, 2007

Check the date on this one first...

So we face the world with mile wide smiles

(Knowing inside our eyes are on fire)

They see the twinkle of trust in our eyes

(When deep down inside we want them to die)

Use our lives for the masses of friends

(But under our skin the anger never ends)

It’s a lonely wasteland,

Being the hero of the hour

The envy in the desert sand

Turns it all desolate, except for one flower

The flower of the one who sees the truth

(When I met you my heart was ice

Chipped from pain and melting away

They’d turn up the heat with their lies

And leave me there to fade away

Until you let me see the truth)

We still let them think we’re so naïve

(The twinkle in our eyes are really knives)

They’ll never get it, they’ll never see

(The silent truths of you and me)

The world thinks we purely hate each other

(But we couldn’t live without one another)

So we’ll let them think they know it all

(And we’ll laugh when all of them fall)

Both:

So go on, world, go on and doubt us

Do your best and try to attack us

Break us

Shake us

Give us all you got

Cause we both know when it comes to the end

We’ll just be stronger and you’ll lay there dead.
