[Verse 1]
If we start at the beginning we'll only get lost
We told ourselves so many stories and failed to calculate the cost
These lies belong to us, we raised them from the earth
Hidden by a masterful performance that no one could observe
Yeah!

[Chorus]
We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn’t ours to decide, what life meant to us

[Verse 2]
So let's start at the end, sober from the fountain of youth
The wounds may never mend, but still, I wanna drink the truth

[Chorus]
We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn't ours to decide, what life meant to us
All the stained glass losing its color
Praetorian aureole
Two people stare through a crystal barrier
Yeah!

[Bridge]
Agnus dei, wasting away
A self delusion in decay
[Chorus]
We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn’t ours to decide, what life meant to us
All the stained glass losing its color
Praetorian aureole
Two people stare through a crystal barrier
Yeah!
