What went wrong? Where's the voice of reason?

G#m E B F#

It's long gone, we lost it long ago

Apathy plus ice fill the void of motivation

I can hardly breathe at all

[Chorus]

Solution, bid farewell

G#m E

B E G#m E B E F#

[Verse]

I broke the mirror to the past

G#m E

To find what I was looking for

B E

The bleeding heart of broken glass

G#m E G#m E

Is all I found and nothing more regrets

B F#

Short of no correction

G#m E B F#

Paid my debts, to anxiety

The iron lung collapsed from the pressure and the swelling

I can hardly breathe at all

Destination nowhere

In sight

So!

Divided we stand

Together we fall

There is no belief

In this promised land

Divided we stand

Together we fall

There's no God

That can save us all

So don't pray on your knees

Just, beg on your hands

There is no belief

In this promised land

There's no belief
