lyrics

Tonight
You're going out to try
To find someone
To rise above
This tidal wave
But when
You try and stand up tall
Your fear it brings you down
And everyone around
Will watch as you're falling apart
And they don't know who you are
But it's ok

And their
Words will come
Like a loaded gun
Pointed at the wrong target
As your ghost
Came to steal your crown
Didn't make a sound
So everyone will doubt
While you are falling apart
And they don't care who you are
But it's ok

Like a butterfly you can't catch
Like a champion who's met his match
Every time you find something new
Old memories keep breaking through
Like a broken bridge that's burnt to ash
Overlooked and fading fast
Like poem that nobody gets
With a clear thought you can't express
There was a time you though you knew
But war wounds weathered what you thought was true
You're a toy soldier wound up so tight
All the gears that moved you have broke inside

And now
Afraid to make a sound
Don't want to be called out
By people who are just clueless
To the guilt
That's manifest inside
Afraid to even try
So everyone will sign
While you are falling apart
The poison's reached your jilted heart
Don't go away
