[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]
