lyrics

They say it with such conviction.
“You matter. You are made of light.”
It’s the hero saving praise they are after.
Please, don’t waste my time.

I hear “Be strong, you have to fight!”
“You have a purpose to define!”
Pretty sayings. Paid for lies.
I blame myself when I lose the fight.

Where are you when despair is all we have left?
When without belief in the hope you sell?
Get angry…Say we’re beyond all help.
Get angry…We are just as overwhelmed.

We swing so close to death.
We swing so close to death.
One starts out a loser in this game.
Chance after chance lost my faith.

So maybe life isn’t the most important thing.
Maybe love won’t be what guides my way.
One starts out a loser in this game.
Chance after chance lost my faith.
One starts out a loser
In this game.
