Every thought that I ignore
Another question's at my door
Yes, when will we begin
To believe in this again?
Can we believe?
I wanna know
Can we believe?

I walk down the street
With shadows at my feet
Words in my head
So much left unsaid
You know how we got here
You know how we got here

I drank to clear my throat
Enough to eat the words you wrote
I've said these words before
Felt this way, closed that door
Are you a stranger?
I wanna know
Are you a stranger?

Never seemed to bother me
Now I find it hard to breathe
Everything that you wrote
Sticks inside, chokes my throat
I think way too much
And I'm running out of luck

Can a nation built on blood
Find its way out of the mud?
Will the people at the top
Lose their way enough to stop?
Can we begin again?
I wanna know
Can we begin again?
Please tell me now
Can we begin again?
I wanna know
Can we begin again?
