Story Behind The Song
The title of this song came from the feeling that the band got when it played it. The song was angry, but it didn't want to be. Ryan always said that it is a "mini-epic" song because when he was writing it, he kept adding more and more to it until it was about 10 minutes long. The four minute version packed all of the best parts into it.

Lyrics
So you want to see heaven now.
Doesn?t it feel like this is echoing somehow,
somehow?
I can?t tell you how many times we lost.
I can?t find the meaning now, because
Because?
Section B
Then you find yourself walking backwards
down this empty hall of all you?ve ever
dreamed of and you ask yourself, ?How do I
really know??
You?re there.
You?re There.
It?s the last thing I should have said right
before.
It?s the last breath I took, as I walked out my
door.
I?m gone?
Section B
Don?t stand there and pretend all these
superstitions.
I just can?t explain all the reasons I have for
her.
But you?ll never want, never need, and that
you are you?re dead, you?re dead, you?re dead
and still?
Watch out for lightning, black crumbling down.
It tears out your eyes but you never want,
never need, I dreamed you are you?re dead,
you?re dead, you?re dead
Chorus
Lights go out across you?re feet.
You realize that the world is a dream.
You ask yourself, ?How much do I bleed??
You think you are, you think you are?but you
are?
Can you see it now?
Can you see it now?
