Off the Rails
Not one to shirk blame
Instead he suffers in his own shame
Holding the pieces and wondering why
It turns out just the same
Potential sky high
But all ambition fades and dies
Watching it all's inevitable
With bleakness in his eyes
While those stood around you
Try to hide a grin
They're driving you out from within
He laid to waste the hand that he'd been dealt
But any self-belief needs a little self-help
When hearts of gold go off the rails
We know that evil has prevailed
A rose cast among the thorns
Angel faces, invisible horns
Spurring him on, and then they're gone
A destiny that mourns
Wild-eyed, the mob surround you
Bait you all the way
Your clarity's much too late
He laid to waste the hand that he'd been dealt
But any self-belief needs a little self-help
When hearts of gold go off the rails
We know that evil has prevailed
Can't see it, can't see that
Can't see cause what's laid before you
Take the fragments of dreams you're holding
Let them scatter over the ground
Lurking shadows could have told you
They wouldn't join you on the way down
Hidden faces watch you drown
He laid to waste the hand that he'd been dealt
But any self-belief needs a little self-help
When hearts of gold go off the rails
We know that evil has prevailed
Instead he suffers in his own shame
Holding the pieces and wondering why
It turns out just the same
Potential sky high
But all ambition fades and dies
Watching it all's inevitable
With bleakness in his eyes
While those stood around you
Try to hide a grin
They're driving you out from within
He laid to waste the hand that he'd been dealt
But any self-belief needs a little self-help
When hearts of gold go off the rails
We know that evil has prevailed
A rose cast among the thorns
Angel faces, invisible horns
Spurring him on, and then they're gone
A destiny that mourns
Wild-eyed, the mob surround you
Bait you all the way
Your clarity's much too late
He laid to waste the hand that he'd been dealt
But any self-belief needs a little self-help
When hearts of gold go off the rails
We know that evil has prevailed
Can't see it, can't see that
Can't see cause what's laid before you
Take the fragments of dreams you're holding
Let them scatter over the ground
Lurking shadows could have told you
They wouldn't join you on the way down
Hidden faces watch you drown
He laid to waste the hand that he'd been dealt
But any self-belief needs a little self-help
When hearts of gold go off the rails
We know that evil has prevailed
