i’m waiting in line
closer than others behind
there’s not a single thing i’d rather do
than pull the trigger on what’s aimed at you
sing for the dollar and dime
brave the wait, shine the light
abuse this to death so you grow
feed us with sorrow, oh me, oh my
we’ll know tomorrow so take the ride
heaven awaits,the toll is high
but i can’t complain, i rode the miracle a mile
they look me in the eye... “you’re never gonna die.”
but i can’t buy the lie
stained, bitter, confused
the pain, the knowledge, the truth
we don’t care who’s to blame, what will you do?
don’t mind that pretty frame, the picture’s still skewed
rise for the anthem, recite
spin the wheel, learn your lines
life heeds a tempo too slow
feed us with sorrow, oh me, oh my
if there’s no tomorrow, let’s take the ride
heaven awaits,the toll is high
but i can’t complain, i rode the miracle a mile
they look me in the eye... “you’re never gonna die.”
but i can’t buy the lie
they’ve come to save us, so take the ride
heaven awaits,the toll is high
but i can’t complain, i rode the miracle a mile
they look me in the eye... “you’re never gonna die.”
that's why i can’t buy the lie
