Nothing seems to shine when things fall apart 



The best lack conviction and the worst are full of passion 



Until a moment of hope or a moment of defeat 



When we are standing on our own, we're on our own 

What do we want to happen now 



When the center cannot hold and we are left out 



So what will lead our steps 



The very thing we seek 



What we are striving for 

We are the restless 



We are set apart from the dead, only dying now 



We are known by what we seek 



When the center cannot hold 



Is it the drug or the soberness? 



The failure that we feel inside when nothing seems to shine 

So what do we want to happen now 



If we are on our own and we are left out 



If we are left out 



So what will lead our steps 



The very thing we seek 



What we are striving for 

We are the restless 



We are set apart from the dead, only dying now 



And we are known by what we seek 



When the center cannot hold 

When the center cannot hold is there anything left 



I think we need to simplify it 

And if when we forget 



We can't find our way 



We are known by what we seek 



When the center cannot hold
