I think we'll live
Which is strange enough to think
Everyone was cheering
To push us from the brink
We were entertaining
That was never cast in doubt
But never mind about that
We were not meant to get out
When you've seen what we've seen
When you've done what we've done
When you've been through what we've been through
There is nowhere left to run
Through the eagle's eye they watched us
Never feeling like the prey
Paying us all their attention
Taking everything away
I am not undamaged
No, that was never an option
Supposedly safe, but I'm lost again
I am not okay
That was always out of the question
But maybe, given time, I'll start to mend
Till then, I'm lost again
Like bandits on the run
We sought out anywhere to hide
Everything we've done
Was done so we could stay alive
They'll never understand
The way the world looks from our eyes
How our own survival's
Just a consolation prize
When you've seen what we've seen
When you've done what we've done
When you've been through what we've been through
There is nowhere left to run
Through the eagle's eye they watched us
Never feeling like the prey
Paying us all their attention
Taking everything away
[Chorus]
Sitting here as targets
As the waves crash down upon our heads
Hurling questions
"How did we manage to defeat our dead?
Why aren't we smiling?
This is our shining moment after all!
Why are we cowering when we should be standing tall?"
I am not undamaged
No, that was never an option
Supposedly safe, but I'm lost again
I am not okay
That was always out of the question
But maybe, given time, I'll start to mend
