The room explodes
Ashes fall from the sky
With all the coulda done, shoulda dones
Times that I never try

A mushroom cloud
Bellows up to the sun
And I am breathing in breathing out
The ton of smoke filled lungs

You should have seen the look in my eyes
The night I sat aside and watched it die
Now I'm gonna get it right, this time
I took a shot in silence, a charade
And now they drink to wash it all away
Now I sat alone today on this stage

The room explodes
Ashes fall from the sky
With all the coulda done, shoulda dones
Times that I never try

A mushroom cloud
Bellows up to the sun
And I am breathing in breathing out
The ton of smoke filled lungs

Like a fading picture on a wall
Like the time we watched the towers fall
This foundation is caving in

You should have seen the look in my eyes
The night I sat aside and watched it die
Now I'm gonna get it right, this time
I took a shot in silence, a charade
And now they drink to wash it all away
Now I sat alone today on this stage
