'It's soft and it's cold'

I was born to command but I don’t want to control I was born to inspire Their hearts not break their souls It’s a fine line that I walk alone To impose my will not replace Their own And I fear sometimes that those who admire They don’t choose it they just feel required What’s the good in leading Those with no free will What’s the good in fighting A battle for yourself And even if they love me That love will never last When they discover that loves Like a spell that has been cast I was born a leader It’d be nice to fall in line Let someone else take charge So the burden is not mine Cause my shoulders are starting to shake Don’t know how much longer they can bear the weight Of all the blood my command has caused I was born inherently flawed What’s the good in leading Those with no free will What’s the good in fighting A battle for yourself And even if they love me That love will never last When they discover that loves Like a spell that has been cast I live my life alone Cause I can’t trust myself to not impose On the mind of those who are around me It’s not safe to keep them close Push them away where they can be free I walk this fine line I’m used to it by now Power is not what I seek It’s not something I allow

you can try

to drown all your sorrows

but where will it get you,

back where you started?

you can try

to solve all your problems

but where will it get you,

will it make you weak hearted?

when we walk 

down this road

full of monsters

full of cruel gods

where do we go?

you can try

to fend for yourself

but where will it get you,

when you end up in hell?

and you can try

to pretend you’re alright

but where will it get you,

an empty shell?

when we walk 

down this road

full of memories

full of sad dreams

where will you go?

you can try

to pretend you hate her

but where will it get you,

will it make you stronger?

and you can try

to build a new life

but where will it get you,

will this one last longer?

when you walk

down this road

full of hatred

full of remorse

where will we go?

you can try

to fend off the flames

but where will it get you,

when you meet your fate?

you can try

to bury yourself

but where will it get you,

when you can’t bear the weight?

when you walk

down this road

full of fire

full of misery

where will you go?

We keep walking

Down the same Road

It can't make us 

If it breaks us

We keep walking

Down the same road

It won't make us

It just breaks us

you can try

to be the leader

but where will it get you

when you're all on your own?

you can try

to fly to the heavens

but where will it get you

when you’ve got no home?

when we walk

down this road

we face monsters

we face cruel gods

and where do we go

through disaster, and deception

you can try

to drown all your sorrows

but where will it get you,

back where you started?

you can try

to solve all your problems

Who would have thought I'd end up here, A head full of memories but none of them clear

And I've talked my way out of every situation, But this is one game that I fear will never be won

Find me a place that's just for me No interference or false realities Somewhere  that I can choose my own destiny I don’t wanna follow what you've got planned for me

I guess you could say I'm paranoid That what I choose isn’t really my choice

And I will be stronger than you could of imagined That’s what comes out of reckless abandon

I’ll find a place that's just for me No interference or false realities Somewhere that I can choose my own destiny I don’t wanna follow what you've got planned for me

Tell me that I’m clueless Tell me I'm not strong Tell me that I'm useless

I won’t play along

Cry me a river Throw me into the storm Trust me when I say That I will prove you wrong

I'm going down to the river today And if I drown it'll be to your name Mother please give me your blessing Can't be immortal but this is the Next best thing

Pull me out of the water I'll lift the sky off your shoulder Though this life seems inviting Were always stuck fighting

For a life we never asked for A war we didn't start To be declared a hero Is what we all want from the start

And i wish i could go back To before this all began Id take you there with me Wed be dealt a better hand

Took a knife in the back for you We always manage to make it through In a way I am cursed too My weakness will always be you

Pull me out of the water I'll lift the sky off your shoulder Though this life seems inviting Were always stuck fighting

For a life we never asked for A war we didn't start To be declared a hero Is what we all want from the start

And i wish i could go back To before this all began Id take you there with me Wed be dealt a better hand

Id part the sea for you You'd paint it blue for me We could hide underneath We could hide underneath

Id part the sea for you You'd paint it blue for me We would hide underneath We would hide underneath

Pull me out of the water I'll lift the sky off your shoulder Though this life seems inviting Were always stuck fighting

For a life we never asked for A war we didn't start To be declared a hero Is what we all want from the start

And i wish i could go back To before this all began Id take you there with me Wed be dealt a better hand

Runaway No one left to betray Lost all sense of control They say You reap what you sow

Seems like everyone saw it coming But me

A will of gold Can’t save your soul Your fates been sealed You’re doomed to wield A sword of fire To lose your mind Like those you loved You left behind

Sacrifice I’ll accept my demise I only wanted love Is there A god above

Why did no one warn me

A will of gold Can’t save your soul Your fates been sealed You’re doomed to wield A sword of fire To lose your mind Like those you loved You left behind

It's not fair To live a life of despair To be scarred, rejected Never respected

And who would’ve known Through all the lies The one you thought the villain Was a hero in disguise

And how could you know Who they had meant When they muttered the words
