The Interrupters - The 11th Hour lyrics

Hey, little sister
Do you know what time it was
When you finally seen all your broken dreams
Come crashing down your door?

I said, they demand an answer and
They demand it quick
Or the questions fade and the wasted days
Come crawling back for more

And I said do you know where the power lies
And who pulls the strings?
Do you know where the power lies? I said
It starts and ends with you

The face of isolation
Well, that's one you recognize
When you can't get straight
It's a lonely place and
It's one you do despise



I said boredom is for sale now
And helplessness you feel
It's a wounded dove and the hawks are above
Blood splattered on a reel-to reel

And I said do you know where the power lies
And who pulls the strings?
Do you know where the power lies? I said
It starts and ends with you hey hey hey, hey

I was almost over, my world was almost gone
And in a sudden rush, I could almost touch
The things that I'd done wrong
My jungle's made of concrete
And through silence, I could feel
My aim is true, I will walk on through
These mountains made of steel

And I said do you know where the power lies
And who pulls the strings?
Do you know where the power lies? I said
It starts and ends with you
I said, it starts and ends with you
I said, it starts and ends with you with you
