Lyrics (for your iTunes and such):

Is this the new year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this a new tear or just another desperation?
Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit and miss?
I miss direction most in all this desperation
Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
For broken hearts and broken noses in the back
Is this the new year or just another desperation?
You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
Do you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay?
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in, yeah
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
There's nothing here worth saving
There's no one here at all
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one when the sky falls down
And the hungry and poor and deserted are found
Are you discontented?
Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
Is there nothing left now, nothing left to sing?
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy?
Is this the new year or just another desperation? Yeah...
Does justice ever find you?
Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
And nothing is okay until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in...

Thank you for posting this simply with lyrics--I just discovered your video and that I love this song today. *bows*

I know that I had seen the official music video before. Those photos just didn't apply to the song for me and distracted from the song enough that I never listened to the end or looked it up again. I know the original photography must have taken a lot of work, but I'd say the concept was THIRD rate.

"Is this what they call freedom? Is this what you call pain?

Is this what they call discontented fame?"

Those lines say SO much...God, where can I run to escape from myself? <3
