Lonely War

We're in the Age of a Compromise
Appeal to the Gaze of a stranger's eyes
Feel the Gaze of a sovereignty
Strip us bare, devour you and me

It's just another godamn fools game
Dying on the throne for a famous name
You wish you never had to fake at all
We were never taught to lie or
To hide all our faults

Darlin, you can grow
A deceptive mind hides in the shadow
Let the light shine on in
However far away
Instead of faking smiles
You're faking OK

Feel yourself as a constellation
Struggle with the love and desperation
The powers that be are in your hand
The power to love yourself, don't you understand?

It's just another godamn fools game
Dying on the throne for a famous name
You wish we never had to fake at all
We were never taught to lie or hide our perfect faults

Darlin', you can grow
A deceptive mind
Runs from the shadow
Let the light shine on in
However far away
Instead of faking smiles
I'm fakin' OK

Why can't you, ever go away?
I should know by now, you're here to stay
It's about all one can take
I should know by now
You're here and you're never gonna go away

Darlin, don't you know?
A depressive mind
Lives with the shadow
Let the light shine on in
However far away
Instead of faking smiles
I'm facing today

Darlin, don't you know?
A depressive mind
Runs with the shadow
Let the light shine on in
However far away
Instead of faking smiles
I'm facing today
