Amid shattered screens
A silvered surface gleams
Arrays of diodes
Stare at me
Entire compound razed
The title wrested free
The rebel flag is raised
It is stained
With victory
Resting on laurels
Kicking out the flames
(Somehow feeling hollow)
Did you see it going differently?
(Somehow feeling hollow)
It's a hard pill to swallow
But I'll never chase it down
(Somehow feeling hollow)
It's like twisting metal-
When you learn to like the sound...
Bent arrows
Sprout out of your wounds
Relapse on the red line
Stand up and bleed
Her father knew
That we were coming soon
He had her shipped over
The border with a chosen few
Everything is borrowed
Strung up in the ranks
(Somehow feeling hollow)
Did you see it going differently?
(Somehow feeling hollow)
It's a hard pill to swallow
But I'll never chase it down
(Somehow feeling hollow)
It's like twisting metal-
When you learn to like the sound...
Bent arrows
Sprout out of your wounds
Relapse on the red line
Stand up and bleed
Her father knew
That we were coming soon
He had her shipped over
The border with a chosen few
