[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Another dawn breaks through the haze
Same old ghosts in different ways
This weight I carry, etched in bone
Feels like I'm fighting all alone
The mirror shows a stranger's face
Haunted eyes, a cold embrace
Of every failure, every fall
Can't seem to shake this sense of dread at all
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's been awhile
Since I could face the day without this bitter taste
This constant w*r inside my veins
Yeah, it's been awhile
Since I believed the lies or saw the point in trying
Just let the darkness take its place
These scars remain
[Verse 2]
They told me "Son, you gotta f***t"
But no one mentioned endless night
The price you pay for standing tall
Is watching pieces of you fall
The uniform, the battle cry
Meant nothing when the good men die
Left screaming into the abyss
With just the taste of b***d and Judas' kiss
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's been awhile
Since I could face the day without this bitter taste
This constant w*r inside my veins
Yeah, it's been awhile
Since I believed the lies or saw the point in trying
Just let the darkness take its place
These scars remain
[Bridge]
Broken promises and shattered trust
Buried deep beneath the dust
Of dreams I had before the fall
Can you hear me? Can you hear me call?
Through the static and the pain
Am I screaming out in vain?
This anger burns, a constant flame
I can't escape, I bear the shame
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's been awhile
Since I could face the day without this bitter taste
This constant w*r inside my veins
Yeah, it's been awhile
Since I believed the lies or saw the point in trying
Just let the darkness take its place
These scars remain
[Outro]
