Cynical

I wrestle my conscience
No hope to spare
Held me to the light
When you weren't there

Lost part of myself
When you took control
And pushed me to the edge
Until it all unfolds

I gave you the chance
But you sold me out for having hope
Turned all my words into smoke
Until they made you choke

You can't deny
The peril inside
From taking more
I'm on the line, lost my mind
We're all so cynical

Paint yourself as a victim
With the blood on your hands
Erasing intentions
Like their steps in the sand

I wish that the darkness
In your eyes wasn't there
But it's all in your nature
With no thought or care

I gave you the chance
But you sold me out for having hope
Turned all my words into smoke
Until they made you choke

You can't deny
The peril inside
From taking more
I'm on the line, lost my mind
We're all so cynical
We're all so cynical

Why do we bleed out the heart
That was our reason to live
We scream through our teeth
Torn apart
We were never meant to give

I gave you the chance
But you sold me out for having hope
Turned all my words into smoke
Until they made you

Try and deny
The peril inside
From taking more
I'm on the line, lost my mind
We're all so cynical
We're all so cynical
We're all so cynical

We all deny
Our perils inside
I'm on the line, lost my mind
We're all so cynical
