A Beautiful End - Our Own End Lyrics

Uncle Sam is calling
The soldiers with no fear
They're coming home with nothing
But stories left to hear
Of heroes sleeping in the alley
And there's not a dime to spare
And people say they have been there
The sentiment is bare

These days I wish that I could see through the eyes
See truth, See hope with all that's real in this life
Though it seems we walk alone
From beginning to end
Until we change the plot
And we re-write our own end

A family uprooted
With nowhere left to go
They split in two directions
That none of them have known
A broken child is missing
And no one can say where
It seems that we're not listening
'Cause it seems that we don't care

These days I wish that I could see through the eyes
See truth, See hope with all that's real in this life
Though it seems we walk alone
From beginning to end
Until we change the plot
And we re-write our own end

We shout what we're sayin'. We force what we're playin'
But we seem so shameless to show our two faces
This cycle is breaking the world that we're making
But if we can make it then we just might save it

These days I wish that I could see through the eyes
See truth, See hope with all that's real in this life
Though it seems we walk alone
From beginning to end
Until we change the plot
And we re-write our own end
