Under a perfect skyline the search for love goes on and on
Beneath the neon streetlights lies misery in bright disguise
And I am captured in the constant war between light and death


I find no rest, surrounded by the walking dead
Loveless and shallow, I see their faces around me

And I've grown distant to the world that I see
And I've become the antagonist of the faithless love you preach


I'm only trying to be a better man

How could I ever find peace, when I'm trapped in this senseless masquerade?

Day after day, struggling just to get by

And I ask myself: "What the $#&@ is wrong with people nowadays?"

Seems like I'm the only one aware we're not the $#&@ed up kids in this $#&@ed up world

No matter where I turn my head

Black eyes black hearts is all I see
There's daggers in man's smiles
But I will form my voice into a weapon


See me rise
See me rise

See me rise
See me rise
