Back

 

After all was said and done,
and the battle lines were drawn,
did the side you followed
haunt you each tomorrow?

You and I are not the same,
as you seek someone to blame,
dwelling on our losses. 
All our passions had a cost.

We define, we separate.
We divide, we write ourselves out.
We regret, we re-explain.
We forget, we rationalize.

Grab a brush and paint your past
in the light that suits you best.
All the drama borrowed
can't conceal your sorrow.

We define, we separate.
We divide, we write ourselves out.
We regret, we re-explain.
We forget, we rationalize.
