Battle Scars - NovaElite

There's no path to follow There's no path to follow There's a line in the sand Put there by a man By a man whose children Will built castles made of stone There's a man in the sky Giving reasons why That line grows deeper Like these shackles round our bones Move on to my own Here come battle scars It's the final charge Here come battle scars There's a child born To the land of scorn Sees past the borders And the lords that hold his hand He was led like a lamb All part of the plan This castle crumbles As he walks out of this land Move on to my own Here come battle scars It's the final charge Here come battle scars This is what we own Here come battle scars This is where we are Here come battle scars There's no path to follow There's no path to follow There's no path to follow Living for the reasons Of the dead that moved to Paper from their heads Until my fingers And my deadly view is Strangled by the rent I have no purpose in this land Have I forgotten how to stand up With the humor and the need I've got to find a way to be I just turn up the stereo I can't survive without the cold This culture's fallen off its feet I've got to find a brand new beat Beat, beat, beat Beat, beat, beat Beat, beat, beat, beat There's a road ahead 'Tween the live and dead Church bells are ringing Like the panic in my head Step, step, one by one Walk into the setting sun Water's rising, rising fast History catching up at last Danger ahead, death behind No one to follow but old man time Time, time, take us back Before the line was drawn Before the sky turned black, black, black

I like the first shot better than the last You always pour a little too much in my glass We're always throwing words it's hard to take them back But we do it anyway (we do it anyway) And yeah, we clean up well, but we're a mess And it's hard to say who's filled with more regret Promise the last time would really be the last But here we go anyway I say it's time for the truth You say it's time that I leave I think the problem is you, is you, is you You think the problem is me Now it's your word against mine We don't know who to believe I think the problem is you, is you, is you You think the problem is me Goin' in circles and bringing up the past Feels like I'm tip-toeing on broken glass So many battle scars that now I'm losing track And there's nothing left to save, hey So break the news again to all our friends It's such a shame that we couldn't see the end (see the end) It's the last time, it really is the last I can't go another day (I can't go another day) I say it's time for the truth, hey You say it's time that I leave (you say it's time that I leave) I think the problem is you, is you, is you You think the problem is me Now it's your word against mine (your word against mine) We don't know who to believe (who to believe) I think the problem is you, is you, is you You think the problem is me Now it's your word against mine We don't know who to believe I think the problem is you, is you, is you, is you, it's you I say it's time for the truth I know it's time that I leave (you say it's time that I leave) I know the problem is you, is you, is you It can't be me Oh, fuck your word against mine, yeah We all know who to believe (we all know who to believe) I know the problem is you, is you, is you You think the problem is me (you think your problem is me)

This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten, the lost, the broke, the defeated. A song for the heartsick, for the standbys, Living life in the shadow of a goodbye. Do you remember when we learned how to fly? We'd play make-believe; we were young and had time on our side. You're stuck on the ground Got lost, can't be found. Just remember that you're still alive. I'll carry you home. (I'll carry you home) No, you're not alone. (No you're not alone) Keep marching on This is worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars. You've had enough But just don't give up. Stick to your guns You are worth fighting for. You know we've all got battle scars. Keep marching on. This is a call to the soldiers, the fighters, the young, the innocent, and righteous. We've got a little room to grow. Better days are near Hope is so much stronger than fear. If you jump, kid, don't be scared to fall. Cause we'll be kings and queens in this dream, all for one, one for all. You can light up the dark There's a fire in your heart Burning brighter than ever before. I'll carry you home. (I'll carry you home) No, you're not alone. (No you're not alone) Keep marching on This is worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars. You've had enough But just don't give up. Stick to your guns You are worth fighting for. You know we've all got battle scars. Keep marching on. On and on, like we're living on a broken record. Hope is strong, but misery's a little quicker. Sit, and we wait, and we drown there Thinking, "Why bother play when it's unfair?" They say life's a waste, I say they lack belief. They tell me luck will travel, I tell 'em that's why I've got feet. Left, right, left, right Moving along to the pulse of a heartbeat. This could be the last chance you have to fly. Do you like the ground? Want it to pass you by? Man, you had it all when you were just kid. Or do you even remember who you were back then? What do you want in life? Will you be twice as strong? What would you sacrifice? What are you waiting on? Don't stop, march on. And I'll carry you home. (I'll carry you home) No, you're not alone. (No, you're not alone) Keep marching on This is worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars. You've had enough But just don't give up. Stick to your guns You are worth fighting for. You know we've all got battle scars. Keep marching on.
