I hate it when it gets so complicated and faded All we created was evacuated I couldn't save it If you're listening to this It means we didn't make it I fought, I couldn't take it no more I play a role in this war There's a traitor hiding in my shadow Thought I wasn't afraid of failure But I didn't know Saw my brothers going down one by one like dominoes Was that the hardest part, God only knows These are my battle scars, show me yours When you close your eyes Do you see the light Holding on to a dying dream Don't believe in destiny It's just too easy Will you close your eyes If the light's too bright Let go of that dying dream Snap out of the fantasy Open your eyes and see Don't you know that I just love it When you mix respect with desperation We're at the very foundation Of this fucking frustration It takes a lot of let downs It takes a lot of let gos My greatest enemy turned out to be my own ego So sick of (sick of contradictory) A victim of a victory I'm hiding (I'm hiding in the history) Missing (gone missing in the mystery) The world's a fucking mess This is our message When you close your eyes Do you see the light Holding on to a dying dream Don't believe in destiny It's just too easy Will you close your eyes If the light's too bright Let go of that dying dream Snap out of the fantasy Open your eyes and see One more fucking time What do you see when you close your eyes Can't deny there's a light Deep inside there's a fire burning bright Choose your side I'm on mine, who you are Is defined by the things That you're willing to sacrifice So sick of (sick of contradictory) Victim (victim of a victory) I'm hiding (I'm hiding in the history) Missing (gone missing in the mystery) These are my battle scars, show me yours
