Lyrics
Lost Cause
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Was it all just a dream or
Was it just the price to pay?
Now I'm left here to pray in (silence)
And you got what you wanted
I search for meaning
When all I used to do was dreaming
Disconsolate, mourning a loss
Lonesome at best
Run away
But I can never escape
From the pain in my brain
This fucking misery
I need a reason for who we are
I need to breath throughout the war
I lost faith in myself again
I lost faith in myself again
Lost!
Just breath in (just breath in)
Just breath in (just breath in)
And bury me
Bury me
Just pretend (just pretend)
Just pretend (just pretend)
And run away
And run away
(I'm slowly shutting down and)
I can't deny that all I do is losing control
You know I can't keep going on, this shit is taking its toll
But I can never escape
But I can never escape
Fuck!
But I can never escape
System failure
I need a reason for who we are
I need to breath throughout the war
I lost faith in myself again
I lost faith in myself again.
