I have seen the light, The crash and burn consumes my sight, Empires rose and fell A forgotten age with no future to tell
Sirens roar and they thunder, Was my choice to late I wonder, How will this world remember me?
After all is said and done, will you look back, On what you have finally become, and be content with that, This taste is bitter sweet, Without defeat how can we truly win? Regret's teeth can sink in and pull and tear.
Risk has its return, Wishes of what has passed still claim their hurt. If this taught me one thing, It's to make the most of opportunity
Sirens roar and they thunder, Was my choice to late I wonder, How will this world remember me?
After all is said and done, will you look back, On what you have finally become, and be content with that, This taste is bitter sweet, Without defeat how can we truly win? Regret's teeth can sink in and pull and tear.
Is this the way, it ends Such a waste, to mend It's hard to feel anything but apathy, But you wait for something,
This fortune seems so crude, The seams have come unglued It's about the fear of losing control, What can one believe in anymore?
Open and yet, so closed, you play both opposing roles, Lie to me, lie to me now. Just come clean, so this, can be finally put to rest, Lie to me one more time, and ease this state of mind.
To tell the truth, from a lie, It gets so hard, to define, In such a tangled web of secrecy You're such a beautiful catastrophe
But I knew it all along What you reap is what you sow Haven't you learned this lesson yet? That what you give is what you get.
Open and yet, so closed, you play both opposing roles, Lie to me, lie to me now. Just come clean, so this, can be finally put to rest, Lie to me one more time, and ease this state of mind.
To fly to others that we know not of, Conscience can make a coward of anyone, But you wait for something, You're such a beautiful catastrophe.
Open and yet, so closed, you play both opposing roles, Lie to me, lie to me now. Just come clean, so this, can be finally put to rest, Lie to me one more time, and ease this state of mind.
I've heard some say, that love is just a game, Of chance and luck and timing your play But every move is lost to me, an empty heart beats frantically I'm still trying to make amends,
But no words could say this, Livin' life but I fake it, Just enough to get me by, On only nickels and dimes. I'm broke on the inside out, I wish I could tell you this now…
Every time I see your face, I can't seem to look away, I'm caught up in a tidal wave, This emotional under-toe has me, I wonder where life's taken you, Did you do all that you wanted too? Maybe you can see this sky, But the world's between us tonight
Couldn't you see, your effect on me? Maybe it's best it turned out just like this, But haunted thoughts still roam my mind, of withered love I cling to find, We always want what we can't have.
But no words could say this, Livin' life but I fake it, Just enough to get me by, On only nickels and dimes. I'm broke on the inside out, I wish I could tell you this now…
Every time I see your face, I can't seem to look away, I'm caught up in a tidal wave, This emotional under-toe has me, I wonder where life's taken you, Did you do all that you wanted too? Maybe you can see this sky, But the world's between us tonight
Wash this, slate clean… Of all uncertainty, Maybe, someday That's all we ever say,
Every time I see your face, I can't seem to look away, I'm caught up in a tidal wave, This emotional under-toe has me, I wonder where life's taken you, Did you do all that you wanted too? Maybe you can see this sky, But the world's between us tonight
