So cynical and so ashamed
The things we've done, the things we used to say
It's a mask for a broken fate
The man I want to be has been disgraced
Stand for ideals
And causes we neglect
And our fallen morals
Collateral damage
Desperate to dance away the pain
It won't fade
Midnight we always run away
And stave off our change
We look up to the sky in prayer
As if we still believe we'd end up there
Beg forgiveness from the open air
I don't know who would listen, who would care
The casualties
And lives we can't get back
Just a thought decaying
Collateral damage
Desperate to dance away the pain
It won't fade
Midnight we always run away
And stave off our change
Inside us all is someone we'd rather be
But we will never let it free
Before our fall, it was easier to see
But we will never let it free
I don't know why you'd hide
It's such a pointless lie
Destiny lives and dies
On borrowed time
Desperate to dance away the pain
It won't fade
Midnight we always run away
And stave off our change
