While you give your life away 
I will never stop, take stock, and believe in 
All the ones who pine away 
For the very state you hope to achieve in

That place you hide 
Where the damage gets you by 
And if you can 
You'll think that

I am listening to you repeating everything they believe 
And why I bring the weight of the world crashing down on me 
And it may be that you have found that everything you need 
But I'll never be territory

And you wander every day 
Through the lines and pages, text of the season 
And you hope to find a way 
But I will not listen up or believe in

That place you hide 
Where the damage gets you by 
And if you can 
You'll think that

I am listening to you repeating everything they believe 
And why I bring the weight of the world crashing down on me 
And it may be that you have found that everything you need 
But I'll never be territory

But all my life I've lived at the price of taking flight 
Away from the man, true faith, end times, and promised land 
"If you would only take my hand" 

I am listening to you tell me everything I believe 
And why I'm free from the weight of your conscience, ideology

I am listening to you repeating everything they believe 
And why I bring the weight of the world crashing down on me 
And it may be that you have found that everything you need 
But I'll never be territory
