lyrics

'Everything I've never wanted is about to come to pass
Trying hard not to resent the path we chose to walk
But the road is so long and weve come too far to stop

As I take a step back into a world I thought I'd left
Avoiding truth, discarded youth, emotionally bereft
Preparing ourselves for the shock as two sides collide
Under this blanket of mediocrity is the safest place to hide

What happened to my patience? What happened to your passion?
Such wanton self destruction, and no amount of action
Can save us from destroying everything we built
A bond once forged by trust now held together by guilt

As I take a step back into a world I thought I'd left
Avoiding truth, discarded youth, emotionally bereft
Preparing ourselves for the shock as two sides collide
Under this blanket of mediocrity is the safest place to hide

I held the hand of a dying man who didn't even know I was there

You can't replace past event, but I would try if I had some sense
Every memory I wanted to leave always stays, there has to be an easier way
There's never been strength in numbers, never been much strength at all
We're giving up, we're giving in, still we continue to crawl

You can't replace past event, but I would try if I had some sense
Every memory I wanted to leave always stays, there has to be an easier way
The only hope is to seperate, ourselves from the things we hate
But they're too many, we're too few
What the fuck are we supposed to do?'
