"Aozora" lyrics

Here we sit in our camouflage
The same as all the others
Outside, the world just wants to break in
Confusing our philosophies
I know you're still awake, I feel it too
We seek the answer to a thousand things
That don't make any sense
It's time we had a reckoning
It's ugly but true

The radio is quiet, no signal
And no life along the wire
We've been given false hope
Told what only God knows
We all see what's going on, more trouble up ahead
A caution for lessons we've burned
Are we ever gonna see the side of reason?
Led blinded by a sycophantic cause

Now I don't sleep anymore
I can't find no remedy
How about you?

If I held your face to a mirror
Would you smile?
If I held your head under water
Would you fight or let the lights go out?

Waiting for the great escape
Waiting for the great escape
Waiting for the great escape
Waiting for the great escape

If you ever get to see the outside
Maybe you can send a letter if you like
If that's alright
Tell me there's hope within my reach
Tell me what it's like living life in peace
It's so profound
You found a way out, I'm

Still waiting for the great escape
Still waiting for the great escape
Still waiting for the great escape

The conversation dies, we've said it all
No love along the wire
These things always go south
We failed to dig our way out
We all see what's going on, more trouble up ahead
A caution for lessons we've burned
Are we ever gonna see the side of reason?
Led blinded by a sycophantic cause

And now I don't sleep anymore
I can't find no remedy
How about you?

If I held your face to a mirror
Would you smile?
If I held your head under water
Would you fight for your life?
There's a cold, bitter sweat on the back of my neck
Telling me not to let you go
If I held your face to a mirror
Would you smile with me? (Aozora)

Waiting for the great escape
Waiting for the great escape (Aozora)
Waiting for the great escape (Yeah)
Waiting for aozora
Aozora
