Here we are Waiting in the shadows to make our mark We've learned from our mistakes We're reminded of our scars When one door closes Another's slammed in your f**ing face Now's the time Here's the place Despite everything My eyes are open [Chorus:] It's better to light the way Than curse us all with darkness (With darkness) The truth is what I've embraced Now that my mind has adjusted The truth has overtaken me Here they are Condemning us to shadows And forcing us to see It's hard to carry on When no one else believes When one door closes Another's slammed in your f**ing face Now's the time Here's the place Despite everything My eyes are open Despite everything My eyes are open [Chorus:] It's better to light the way Than curse us all with darkness (With darkness) The truth is what I've embraced Now that my mind has adjusted The truth has overtaken me It's hard to carry on When no one believes My eyes are open Despite everything Now's the time Here's the place Now's the time Here's the place [Chorus:] It's better to light the way Than curse us all with darkness (With darkness) The truth is what I've embraced Now that my mind has adjusted The truth has overtaken me [Chorus:] It's better to light the way Than curse us all with darkness (With darkness) The truth is what I've embraced Now that my mind has adjusted The truth has overtaken me
