Shadows creeping on the walls at night
Truth's a ghost in the city lights
What's real what's fake I can't decide
A million voices but none collide
They sell you dreams in a paper bag
You cash em out but the hopes a drag
I'm chasing answers but the ground it shakes
Tell me man what's it going to take
Glass ceilings and a floor of sand
The higher I climb the less I understand
Maps are drawn by invisible ink
Follow the lines and you're bound to sink
They tell me listen but the words don't fit
The puzzles rigged and the pieces split
A mirror shattered shows a thousand fakes
Tell me man what's it going to take
Is it a fire is it a flood
Is it a scream is it a thud
Is it the silence after the quake
Tell me man what's it going to take
What's it going to take to see the truth
Is it blood is it sweat is it something to lose
Gotta tear down the lies
Gotta break through the roof
What's it going to take to see the light
Punch the mirror can't see the fight
Stumbling steps on a broken road
Carry the weight of a heavy load
Eyes shut tight against the dawn
Truth's been screaming all along
Shadows creep where the secrets lie
Every breath just asking why
Cold nights on a crooked street
Heart beats like a war drum heat
Voices in the dark keep calling me
Truth is there but I just don't see
Fingers claw through the dirt and stone
Looking for a way but I'm all alone
Sky won't crack and the rain won't fall
Who's going to answer when I call
What's it going to take what's it going to be
Gotta hit the ground just to see
Before you fall before you break
Open your eyes for your sake
Shadows stretch long on the concrete gray
Truth hiding in the cracks where the streetlights sway
Eyes wide shut we just look away
What's it going to take to see today
The clocks got hands but no time to lend
Every moment wasted we can't pretend
Mirror shows a stranger not a friend
What's it going to take before we end
The sirens sing in a language cold
Stories of the bold left untold
We're chasing fools gold selling our soul
What's it going to take to make us whole
The air feels heavy thick with lies
The sun don't rise where the future dies
We're blindfolded tight truth flies by
What's it going to take to open our eyes
Tick tick tick the sound won't stop
Climbing higher but the ladder will drop
Is this the hill where we'll set up shop
What's it going to take before we flop
What's it going to take what's it going to be
To break those chains to finally see
What's it going to take the truth ain't fake
Before the ground shakes before we break
