Downward spiral, spinning out of control

Revolutions

The choice was ours to make

But in the fight or flight, we couldn't get it right

In an attempt to bring a change in me

The complications recognized

Wait 'til the timings right

I'll have you in my sight

I swear to God I'll become the change that we need

What lies behind their idle eyes?

Ideals no longer idolized

My kingdom for realistic expectations

I’ve lost all faith that there’s decency left in

Humanity

You used to wonder why I looked to the sky at night

And searched for the reasons why

If it comes down to fight or flight, who will survive?

(Who will survive)

So he paints through all his misery

'Til the brushstrokes stain every inch of the canvas

He can't look away, you'll never be the same

Until he sheds the pain he lives every day

The safest place for you to hide, saving face

Before the light reveals the mess you made

My kingdom for realistic expectations

A taste that lingers, one I'm no longer proud

Ignoring the signs, and watching days fly by

And after all this time I'm still left wondering

Could this ever be worth it in the end?

You're losing everything, you have nothing to show

Using the lines on our palms as maps

To take us back to places we'd once known

Can you remember all the times we spent defining us?

Defying odds?

We hope to find our own way

Deliver me

Free fall into the jaws of malevolence

(Into the jaws)

Your walls are paper thin

Decimate from within

Deliver me
