Threshold - State Of Independence lyrics

So I guess we've reached the point of no return Only miles of empty highway left to burn You longed for it, you followed it, you squandered it And showed it no concern And I guess that we were destined not to last There were far too many scars left from the past We meant for it, intended it, but the memory Was branded on our hearts And it's over now So you stand as the defendant So silent and polite But your lies are unrepentant Like sirens in the night And there could've been a way, should've been a way To win without a fight And avoid this state of independence And you always wanted more than a run-around Only I was never sure I could settle down I toyed with you, avoided you, exploited you As far as you allowed But it's over now So you stand as the defendant So silent and polite But your lies are unrepentant Like sirens in the night And there could've been a way, should've been a way To win without a fight And avoid this state of independence I don't wanna lie, I'll keep it inside I'm not gonna fight or swallow my pride Don't wanna be right When everything feels so wrong So you stand as the defendant So silent and polite But your lies are unrepentant Like thunder in the night And there could've been a way, should've been a way To win without a fight And avoid this state of independence So I guess we've reached the point of no return
