lyrics

And as we soldier forth
we meet with
cries of your disdain.
The battle rages on
our families
cry tonight

and as this bitter war
ensnares the hearts of all.
This venom coursing through
our veins straight to our hearts.

and as our reservations
about each other fade.
And as we rise above,
your empire turns to dust.

And as we soldier forth
we meet with
cries of your disdain.
The battle rages on
our families
cry tonight.

-----------------------

They will make you suffer

----------------------

Half the time i'm running on empty.
other times I'm not quite myself.
Still sometimes I can't shake this feeling,
then sometimes I just feel alright.

-----------------------

I'd try, but i don't know
and i never really cared
why is everybody looking at me?
Turn on the light cuz I'm scared
and i never really wanted this
what the hell has happened to me?
I'm lost in a two way mirror
with the one-armed man watching me
taking bets on when i collapse.
Wrong way on a one-way street
Why are you so scared of me?
What the fuck has happened to me?
Frustration, electric lies
and i never really wanted this,
i never really needed this
take me to another place,
away from death and suffering
away from all the jealousy
surrounding me and smothering.

I tried, and I am scared
what I never really wanted
cuz i never really cared
sad song, but i don't belong
in the same damn room
somone tell me what is going on.
