Light This City - A Desperate Resolution lyrics

Don't get your hopes up Said the people I trust More easily said than done It's been a hard lesson There's something wrong when one becomes reluctant to fall in love When one's own blood stands pointing the gun My helplessness is a vicious cycle Causing frustration that debilitates One is truly paralyzed When one sees that time has begun to move too fast and too slow all at once And I can't determine whether it happened gradually or immediately, But my own weakness is now apparent to me Every day Everyone lies Even if they don't realize So go ahead and decide Focus your eyes on mine Tell me everything I'd die to hear after all this time You'll just change your mind And guilty conscience drives you to justify your actions then criticize mine Fool me twice I'm ashamed to find these hopes have gotten so high Always half-expecting your story to change Give me your word Then rescind Spit my confessions back in my face Nothing replaces trust like total control My helplessness is a vicious cycle Causing frustration that debilitates One is truly paralyzed When one sees that time has begun to move too fast and too slow all at once And I can't determine whether it happened Gradually Or immediately But my own weakness is now apparent to me Fathers and heroes may make promises they cannot keep But for the sake of continuing my life I will promise myself one thing That I send my last hope to apathy For it is the only hero that will save me
