There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

There's a place where nothing seems to be a simple, quiet, cohesive lair
It's all your mind, all your mind!
Something little shouldn't feel this way, we got a million thoughts we can't convey
It's all your life, all your life!

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

These things don't happen here, another fictional reality
It's all you'll find, all you'll find!
It's just as good as any other day, I'm gonna teach you about mortality
No, it's not right, it's not right!

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

In many ways, I guess I'll never let you go
I'm close behind but I've got room here left to grow
Until our second chance, just enjoy the dance,
And find out who we are (these dreams will never leave you)
Let's find out what we are (these troops will never leave you)
(Never leave you asking why)

Amazing SOLO!!

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running
I know why you're running away

    Song Meaning:Amazing song, I'm surprised it didn't make the album... Its meaning is pretty ambiguous but from what I can gather it's about how life isn't easy and how when all is looking well and good, life can be suddenly changed for worse. "These things don't happen here, another fictional reality, It's all you'll find, all you'll find! It's just as good as any other day, I'm gonna teach you about mortality, No, it's not right, it's not right!" It seems like a tragedy has occurred in his (previously) happy life, and he is denying that the tragedy had ever occurred in the first place because he cannot comprehend the scale of it (could have something to do with The Rev?). The whole 4 in the morning thing probably refers to the fact that in some places the sun rises at 4 AM, thus it heralds the new day, and we could easily give up everything but we choose to move on and face whatever challenges the new day brings. The song also seems to be directed at someone but it's difficult to tell of whom... Oh and Syn's solo is awesome :P
