Luminesce

Have you ever wished you could just walk away from it all?
Close your eyes and let it fade to grey
Have you ever known your life was never your own?
In a wicked game with no choice to play

Oh how naive I was when I thought
I could change the world for good
Little did I know in the end
You can't defeat your fate
True nature of man
Made me who I am

To be the beacon of hope in a cruel world
As you shine for them you burn yourself
Know they takе it all then leave you behind
Of all bereft, nothing left

Have you ever wished there was a way to cease the decay?
Lose them all till there was no one left to betray
Have you ever known your soul was the price you will pay?
For every soul you save, a piece of yours you lay

Oh how naive I was when I thought
I could change the world for good
Little did I know in the end
It was the world that changed me
True nature of man
Made me who I am

To be the beacon of hope in a cruel world
As you shine for them you burn yourself
Know they take it all and leave you behind
Of all bereft, nothing left
