Born as the world cracked in two
Born as the sun hid behind the moon
An infant’s cry ringing in both ears
You know we can’t stay here

So many promises and lessons
To never abandon
A conscience held contempt
To understand them

This world of black and white is fading into an unfamiliar grey
The heroes we once knew fall from the heights that we once saved

Your ideal ways
Won’t let you survive each day
Will you bend or will you break?
To preserve your righteous claim

Or will the anger in your gut
Lead you to a life of shame
Will it ever be enough
Or will you be a child of rage

Does it have to be so hard?
Do you have to protect your heart?
Will you let someone in?
To show you how to live
That there’s more to life than pain
That you don’t have to regret your name
That you could love someone else
And be at peace with yourself

But the past still haunts you
And the path still taunts you
To put one foot in the grave
To sink back into the grey
To lose everything you’ve earned
To doubt what you deserve

Fail, fail, fail
You only know how to fail

Will you cave under the pressure
Of everything you have to lose?
Wil you crack and seek the comfort
Of the worst inside of you?
Are you begging for forgiveness
From the angels all around?
Their condescending faces
Shoving and beating you down

Born as the world cracked in two
Born as the sun hid behind the moon
An infant’s cry ringing in both ears
You know we can’t stay here

So many promises and lessons
To never abandon
A conscience held contempt
To understand them

The universe if shifting
Bringing responsibility
Crawling out from the wreckage
Of your terrifying dreams
It’s not enough o be selfish
You can’t be careless anymore
You have a life to look after
You must become something more

And in the light of possibilities
You’ll triumph more than you’ll know
You will endure and embrace the twist and turns
And never let them go
You will break with the past
And give it one hell of a show
Never repeating mistakes
Never letting go

Until the soul crushing blow
To your resolute glow

Fade into the sun
Fade until you’re one
With every doubt and hope you’ve carried through the night
Sleep, sleep, sleep, rest your weary eyes

Born as the world cracked in two
Born as the sun hid behind the moon
An infant’s cry ringing in both ears
You know we can’t stay here

So many promises and lessons
To never abandon
A conscience held contempt
To understand them

This world of black and white is fading into an unfamiliar grey
The heroes we once knew fall from the heights that we once saved

But it all washes away
In the cold light of day
A peace you never knew
Cherished souls flourish anew
To breathe life into the earth
To make something of worth
To give it all you’ve got
Not let it all be for naught
This life is better shared
With ones in which you care
Your light will carry on
As night gives way to dawn
