You lost all my savings // Drove off my lovers
Destroyed my health // Then killed my mother
You ruined my career // And ravaged my passion
Twisted my reality // A true soul-assassin
You demand from the shadows // Sacrifices be made
Your hunger — endless // What else must be paid?
“It’s just in your head” // “It’ll all go away”
But I know myself // And you’re here to stay
War-torn and weary // From the constant fight
We need a new tactic // And we need it tonight
We must coexist // To make it out alive
So I offer you a truce // In hopes we survive
What’s done is done // It can’t be changed
But from here on out // We’ll control our rage
We can’t hurt ourselves // Or even be ashamed
We’ll learn to love again // And break free of these chains
The same chains we’ll use // To pull ourselves up
Or come down from above // When we used to jump
We’ll walk to old age // With our head held high
Rebuilding what we must // One piece at a time
