The Chase Scene

(album: Jury Of Wolves - 2012)

And I've been losing my mind since I was born into this dark world
And I don't believe in anything 'cause I can't forget the things I've seen
But the only thing left worth fighting for is the innocence in you
And I'd rather die before I see it disappear

When winds carry us by compass rose
Not even her arms feel like home
Nailed to a broken dream
There's no place for me

So if you're gonna' stay, then how long would you wait for me before your love begins to fade?
I just can't spend all of my days in this place wasting away
So don't forget me when I'm gone, I promise I won't be long
Maybe carrying all these burdens will teach us to be strong

None shall pass
I will pay for this
Nailed to a broken dream
There's no place for me

No security
Crown or comfort
Shackled to a bed of thorns
The water's at your throat
To get burned when you've been warned

And the last of my sanity is slipping slowly from me
I just can't sit still I just can't fucking breathe
And I'm chasing something but I don't know what it is
But it just won't let go

So if I lose control, then how long would you wait for me to find my way around these walls?
My mind's a maze I'm stranded in, and my bones might rot where I fall
Is this air laced with Novocaine, 'cause I don't feel anything at all
If I can't have you and I can't find truth, then what's the point of waking up?

And if I could have another chance, I wouldn't change a single thing
I'd run like hell and not look back as the world burns down behind me
And I would swear to change it all, I wouldn't let them push me to my knees
I would fight like an animal. I wouldn't do a thing differently

Carry me away from here and teach me to be strong
This is my own escape
It's not where we were promised to be
I'd rather light a candle than curse your darkness

There's no place for me
Pull me away from
Pull me away from here

So if you're gonna' stay, then how long would you wait for me before your love begins to fade?
I wish that part of me believed that I'm gonna come home someday
Is there purpose without meaning?
Is there a life that's worth living?
Is there a chance to change things or have we really ruined everything?
