• I wait for you to become disenchanted,
    As the waste of the stars becomes one with ours.
    Even angels have to lie sometimes,
    And though I'm no angel, now it's safe to cry.
    I learned to make memories from the dust,
    'Cause now I know to let go of trust.
    You were the one who chose mind over matter,
    And it'd be alright if your mind wasn't shattered.

    I know we've seen some better times
    Committing all our simple crimes,
    And if I bring you back to life
    Do you think we'll be alright?
    I know it seemed unbreakable,
    But the signs were unmistakable.
    We both knew these days would shatter
    When you chose
    Mind over matter.

    As we sat in the rain, I realized pain wasn't so hard.
    After all, these fights have left us so scarred.
    We reached the lines with the beating of our hearts,
    Keeping time and leaving out the broken parts.
    I've always feared what it's like to dream,
    All I've known are nights filled with screams.
    You were the one who chose mind over matter,
    And it'd be alright if your mind wasn't shattered.

    I know we've seen some better times
    Committing all our simple crimes,
    And if I bring you back to life
    Do you think we'll be alright?
    I know it seemed unbreakable,
    But the signs were unmistakable.
    We both knew these days would shatter
    When you chose
    Mind over matter.

    I learned that tears are the best medicine to heal an empty wound.
    So what would be the proper way to heal an empty room?
    And though I refuse to see December, I know that it will come.
    I'll fight my way through November until these days are done.

    I know we've seen some better times
    Committing all our simple crimes,
    And if I bring you back to life
    Do you think we'll be alright?
    I know it seemed unbreakable,
    But the signs were unmistakable.
    We both knew these days would shatter
    When you chose
    Mind over matter.

    Our broken wings and empty hearts
    Can carry us only so far.
    So hurry back before the black
    Starts breaking through the cracks.
    Some day this rain will have to end,
    We need to keep fighting until then.
    We both knew these days would shatter
    When you chose
    Mind over matter.

    So God help me find tomorrow through the rain.
    After all, we are just butterflies on a chain.
