Short-lived is the life and time you've given menBroken down and shameful now but I wont tell you anything but a torn up storynPenned across the pages I have tried to burn, in hopes that you would never learnnBut I can't stand to watch through eyes in speaking volumes nThrough a heart that they could not defynWith arms held high the broken scream I love younI loved younAnd now this is the second time you'll pull the pin on this onenSo pull it back and throw this away to find a way to blow this apartnI lay waiting as you contemplate me in your plannI'll take the darker side of everything nTo let you trace the constant fading in these eyesnTo show me what this life is good fornBreak down the walls of chivalry we build up for society and lay it all to the groundnYou're seeing 20/20 while I'm seeing none but one, playing parts to find a predetermined endnSo take the keys (to take control)nNow I control the wrecking ball with targets clearly crossed out in rednThe guiltless brush from steel to stone, the rubble flies for everyonenWith nowhere left to hide, none of us can feel so alonenAnd now this is the final time you'll pull the pin on this onenSo pull it back and throw this away to find a way to blow this apartnI lay waiting as you contemplate me in your plannI'll take the darker side of everything nTo let you trace the constant fading in these eyesnTo show me what this life is good fornI lay waiting as you contemplate me in your plannI'll take the darker side of everything nTo let you trace the constant fading in these eyes nTo show me what this life is good fornNothing more than broken endings
