One Day

I always thought that the script would write itself
And make sense in the end
Make me the hero, draw the lines of joy and pain
I'll do my best to follow them

Burn this river and make me watch the fire
Boil my blood
Send the shiver through this empty land
Because

It will all make sense one day
I'll say smiling with you, or you'll say
As the rain cleanses the ground
It will all make sense one day
I'll say hoping it's true, or you'll say
When I'm nowhere around

When I'm blurring further away, growing faceless
Take me beyond flesh and bone
Make me the martyr, forever lost between places
I'd embrace as my final home

Burn this city and make me watch the flames
Ignite my skin
Let the ashes cover our sins and our hopes

It will all make sense one day
I'll say smiling with you, or you'll say
As the rain cleanses your face
It will all make sense one day
I'll say hoping it's true, or you'll scream
Into this deaf space

And when the world is burned down
And the dust settles
I'll emerge from the grave
Hero you made me become
Stronger than ever
Though there's no one left to save
But me

So bury this world and make me watch it
Alone

And it will all make sense one day
I'll say no longer scared
To those empty walls
It will all make sense one day
I'll say knowing it's true, but I won't dare to
Say a word anymore
