I never asked for the trouble That's the way that it goes Our days are short and the truth is cold Open up the thought peace will never survive I've been fighting to live for all my life I will not fall victim to anyone I won't give that power over me Step back from your body Let your mind escape your self What's real is real for you But much different for somebody else Victim to none Cut deep by what you said The weight of it feels heavy resting on my head Roses on the pavement Most of us destined to parish in anguish Our lives on the path of the wrath of regret The feelings you have when you lose what you said To envy the life of the war that's been won To say is to speak do what has to be done
