The Agonist - When The Bough Breaks lyrics

rate me

Alone... she was... and we face this journey alone... <br />

Helpless and weak, dependent on others' decisions and needs.<br />

But who's to say what is right?<br />

To protect a soul or to save a life?<br />

Is it a plague or a gift -- the ability to create in the way of the Gods?<br />

We are instinctual artists.<br />

Atlas had nothing on what we've got.<br />

When half a race carries the weight of existence and society shuns most circumstances, reputation screams to conform and cast out anything deviating from the norm.<br />

The only way to believe your lies is to spread them far and spread them wide.<br />

Creation like a limitless universe... but boundaries are what defines your size... <br />

Wake up.<br />

Remember nightmares by sharing them upon gaining consciousness.<br />

A flooded nation is soon to spoil so wave your flags west! <br />

Equality will never be attained when blaming Eve for the sins we've gained.<br />

A fighter untilthe end -- but sympathy only kicked in once she was dead.<br />

The sacrifice of a life, or rather an exchange, instead.<br />

Pity, regret and sorrow turned to hope, but even then the newborn winds up dead.<br />

Black -- white, wrong -- right.<br />

Quite a simple hypocrisy.<br />

Since when is an accident a responsibility?<br />

If you play God once, I can play God twice.<br />

Give me the decision and I'll handle the fight.<br />

Materialism now subsides.<br />

Tradition exists when no one has the guts to change.<br />

Someone asked me what difference One can make, one day.<br />

For we're the moss; the Earth -- the stone, so let us do as did the Tree.<br />

For silence will long be ignored, and action recognized quickly.<br />

What if?<br />

I should have... <br />

Hindsight always haunts me.<br />

A thosand Judases could never stop me.<br />

Slings and arrows disappoint and taunt me.<br />

But I'm not wrong, and I'll sacrifice everything just because I know the way since the beginning.<br />

... hindsight always haunts me, and then the bough breaks.
