Desolation

I couldn't fight with my head so low
My will to breathe leaving me alone
Will we have hope again
I question everything I've ever known
And have to give up on the words I own
Will we have hope again

I'm sure it comes as no surprise
I was thinking like the world was at my feet
I was hoping from the ashes we would rise
In attempt to mend the feeling of defeat
I know that time would tell that I'd relive this hell
And watch my dreams burn in front of me
And every time I thought that we were breaking down
I pulled myself off the ropes for one final swing this time

I'm calling you out for some common ground
The feelings so cold
I'm burning it down to even us out
The flames aren't fading away
We're going down
For thoughts we couldn't say
I took the fall for this
To set the world ablaze

When this world swallows you
And you've got nothing else
Don't forget I knew you when
You didn't know yourself
Giving up what we thought was right
You left me here while the cogs kept turning
And all it did was set my thoughts alight
Cause nothing really stops the fire burning out

I'm calling you out for some common ground
The feelings so cold
I'm burning it down to even us out
The flames aren't fading away
We're going down
For thoughts we couldn't say
I took the fall for this
To set the world ablaze

I couldn't fight with my head so low
My will to breathe leaving me alone
Will we have hope again

Forget those,
who live for nothing else
Forgive those,
who don't even know themselves
Regret those,
who left this world behind
Re-live the thoughts of the fires in our eyes

I'm calling you out
I'm calling you out for some common ground
The feelings so cold
I'm burning it down to even us out
The flames aren't fading away
We're going down
For thoughts we couldn't say
I took the fall for this
To set the world ablaze
