I'm sitting
Half naked
My heart racing
My soul long dead
And I'm tracing
The lineage
But I can't tell
Where it started
Here we stand the dislocated
Flung so far from what we'd dream
Hammered down the resurrected
We bear the scars of what we've been
Now the time of new beginning
Though the past will never end
But you will never catch me thinking
It can ever be the same.
Conviction
Undaunted
Direction
Beneath the iron sky
And I've waited
Now I'm shameless
It's our warning
And I'm calling
Through these nights my own reflection
Chose to turn it's back on me
Will you accept my reparation
For the cost of what we've been
I can't stop the wheels in motion
I can't heal a broken heart
But I can bring with my devotion
All the time we've spent apart.
We won't find out
What we suffered all alone
With every light out
Still I never gave up hope
I see a chance now
That I never thought I'd know
We can try now.
I was a young man
I was a coward
I was a blind man
I was addicted
Here are the roses.
