Failed forces arise from the dust 

Of disappointed youth 

They call to arms the unknown 

​ 

They come and go taking life 

To fuel their neon fire 

That runs around your head 

​ 

Oceans rise and fall 

Like a misdirected moon 

That sinks too soon 

​ 

Soon your eyes will shine 

With the light of a thousand suns 

It'll shine on and on 

​ 

The ice runs hot in your blood 

Like a devil in disguise 

Or a moth to a flame 

Things will never change 

​ 

He only wants to be reborn 

But sometimes fate won't take the chance 

On intention misunderstood 

​ 

Failure comes and goes 

But this one's here to stay 

Do you care anyway 

​ 

We had hope but now it's lost 

In vanity's lust for gold 

And now I hope for something more 

​ 

With meaning tossed to the side 

Like we never learned to care 

For each other 

​ 

A million years until the sun 

Blows us all away 

Now look at what you've done
