Waiting for the End (Live) Lyrics

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em

We say "Yeah!"
We're fists fighting up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we dead it, forget it
Let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control

Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go

(Oh!) I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so

(Oh!) I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got!

What was left when the fire was gone?
I thought I found right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
I'm trying to figure out what it's like - moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So picking up the pieces, now, where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is starting all again

All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what i haven't got!

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violet rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em
(Holding on to what I haven't got!)

We say "Yeah!"
We're fists fighting up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we get it, forget it
Let it all disappear!
(Holding on to what I haven't got!)
