LYRICS
There's a fire on the other side of the moon
And a man who tends the spark
He got lost somewhere between the covers of being seen
And surrendered to the dark

As the days roll on and the job is done and the beast is fed and you
Soothe your troubles with a vice
I don't blame him for giving into the easy way
I just want a better life

What's inside that will show you how to cry?
Don't you want to know?
Don't you want to know?

There's a canyon where the river gets set free
And an ocean calling back
To hold the history of captains, fraud, and greed, and death, and
All the treasures in the chest

Push the secrets down as time reveals the loss is true and that
Violence pairs well with fame
I'm discovering the heroes I once tried to be
Are not the men to imitate

What's inside that will show you how to cry?
What's inside that will show you how to cry?
Don't you want to know?
Don't you want to know?
