Like the stones lining the streets
I will pave the way
To a greater ambition
With an open mind
We could build our dreams from scratch
Moving from our past
Reach out to an offer that
Talks of subtle escapes
For once it’s been put to me
To now plant this seed
As the questions get raised
The fear you held on to can’t grow on me.
Jaded and beaten and broken and bruised
Why fucking try, when there’s nothing to lose
(Repeat)
LOSE!
YOU LOSE!
YOU FUCKING LOSE!
Open your fucking eyes
Loyalties don’t last forever, when your back is turned
It’s all just a state of mind
THIS ISN’T REVENGE!
You can call it a comeback
From me to a friend
A friend
I just want the best for you (Repeat)
You won’t listen either way
Step on up and pray for hate
Hands together, eyes sewn shut
If they play god
Your life is done
Deep into your violet blues
A shield of glass protects this life
Words of comfort disappear
Keep on the mask you love to wear.
(Repeat)
