Shadow of a Doubt

We lit the match
We pulled the pin
Follow the herd before the real chaos begins
The fear of fear
An inner voice
I'm losing what was once an easy choice

If we watch it from a distance
Take some needed air
The path of least resistance
Would be more than I can bear
Some impending breakdown
No time to prepare
We need a new perspective
One that we can share

Can't stop this, this feeling
My heart is, is bleeding out
Can't seem to
Find my way out from the shadow of a doubt
So, now it's time, just close my eyes
Fall back in line
With the ghosts, I buried deep inside my mind

What did we learn
This time around
I will remember, no need to write it down
The fog will clear
The ship will right
We see this lighthouse as our beacon through the night

If we watch it from a distance
Take some needed air
The path of least resistance
Would be more than I can bear
Some impending breakdown
No time to prepare
We need a new perspective
One that we can share

Can't stop this, this feeling
My heart is, is bleeding out
Can't seem to
Find my way out from the shadow of a doubt
So, now it's time, just close my eyes
Fall back in line
With the ghosts, I buried deep inside my mind

Resolve has lingered, undeterred
It's not just silence, I deferred
We made this fucking mess ourselves somehow
A compromise must be in place
Can't let the runners call the race
We fly flags of discord proudly now
We skew the facets from our heads
We hang convictions by a thread
Until our empathy all dries out
Out from the sea came this squall
Into the streets, we'll take this brawl
I've got no stake left here to claim

Can't stop this feeling...
Heart's still bleeding...
Can't find my...
Way out from the shadow of a doubt
So, now it's time, just close my eyes
Fall back in line
With the ghosts, I buried deep inside my mind
Can't stop this, this feeling
My heart is, is bleeding out
Can't seem to
Find my way out from the shadow of a doubt
So, now it's time, just close my eyes
Fall back in line
With the ghosts, I buried deep inside my mind
