Haunted by hesitation
This game of cat and mouse
Is weathering my pride
When life and lie collide
New days and more frustration
It seems defeat is
Constantly in my eyes
Should the blind lead the blind
Scars and tears
Left behind
With words of strength
Healed by time
Broken, tempered hearts
Won't last forever
Afraid to live
We fade away
Victim of every lost chance
Suffering with my own forgiveness
Fitting in to a life benign
Hope from you I will never find
Growing itch manifests within
Amplified by your every sin
Casualty of forgotten pride
Tainted by the poisons let it be, let me be
Scars and tears
Left behind
With words of strength
Healed by time
Broken, tempered hearts
Won't last forever
Afraid to live
We fade away
Blinded by my own obsession
Catered to mismanaged minds
Lost within your false existence
Trapped between your truth and lies
Focused on my own transcendence
Tell me now, who to trust
Me, myself, and I alone
As the world shatters to dust
Scars and tears
Left behind
With words of strength
Healed by time
Broken, tempered hearts
Won't last forever
Afraid to live
We fade away
We fade away
Afraid to live
We fade away
