Proof of Life [Verse 1] Everybody wants a life With no evidence of being No mess on the counter No dust in the light No grief in the hallway No silence too heavy No strange afternoon No reason to hide [Pre-Chorus] But the cracks in the wall Know more than the frame And the room remembers What we tried to erase [Chorus] Don't take the mess Don't take the meaning Don't make a life That leaves no breathing Don't crop the room Don't clean the scar I need the cracks To know where we are [Verse 2] Everybody wants to be seen After the living is removed A smile for the window A face for the screen No wrong turns showing No hands still shaking No proof we were here No proof we had been [Pre-Chorus] But the mirror gets polished Till no one is left Just a perfect reflection With no body beneath it [Chorus] Don't take the mess Don't take the meaning Don't make a life That leaves no breathing Don't crop the room Don't clean the scar I need the cracks To know where we are [Bridge] If no one is allowed To simply be Then every life Becomes apology If no one is allowed To fall apart We build a world With no beating heart [Final Chorus] Don't take the mess Don't take the meaning Don't make a life That leaves no breathing Leave the dust Leave the scar Leave the strange Leave the hard Don't crop the room Don't clean the scar I need the cracks To know where we are [Outro] You can take out the mess But the meaning goes with it You can polish the mirror Till no one is left No one is left No one is left
