There’s a struggle coming but
To conquer first they must divide
The machine keeps humming night and day
How are we so unaware?
Why are you not afraid?
Protests are drumming
While you turn your nose
And roll your eyes
Knee-jerk reactions so engrained
Judging from an armchair
There is hate and there is love and there is loss
And there is light and there is dark than there is us
And whether this world burns
Is none of your concern
Caught up in a ticker-tape parade
But I'have learned to stand up
And just to walk away
Sometimes the cold hearts
Aren’t worth the love or the hate
Learn to let go
Learn to walk away
Out from the shadows I’m
Seduced by the light of the flame
And this time I’m here to stay
Gunpowder residue
Bright lights and turpentine
True colors shining through
As we are stripped of all exteriors
Yeah 'cause there is hate and there is love and there is loss
But there is right and there is wrong than there is us
We’re falling until
We learn to stand up
And just to walk away
Sometimes the cold hearts
Aren’t worth the love or the hate
Learn to let go
Learn to walk away
Out from the shadows I’m
Seduced again by the
Light of the flames
This time i’m here to stay
Feet first into the quicksand
Every day we are surrendering
Never straying from the game plan
I keep hoping you will take my hand
And stand up
The waters overflowing
The walls are breaking
But I will wait here knowing
That we can make it
And there’s light still glowing
A light i’m chasing
And I’ve been lost before
I have been led astray
But this time I’m here to stay
