Battle X City

Oh
 ♪
 Maybe in time I will make it through the worst of it
 But for now I'm waging war with myself
 And I can't seem to let the silence break
 I've heard this all before, but nothing ever seems to change
 Blacked out, run down, can't someone give me a break?
 Force-fed irony, it's getting stale
 I'm sick and tired of always blaming myself
 But it's not socially acceptable to ask you to help me
 Lay awake, counting days I could've had
 Could it be that I've been locked inside my head
 And all my fears and phobias are just regrets?
 I know it's hard to see where it all went wrong
 But when heaven comes around, I'll just keep my head down
 It's all so crystal clear
 (I'm already here)
 Yeah, I know that things don't always go to plan
 But life's too short to let the little things bring you down
 Take the fight to the fault lines and make it what defines you
 Yeah, make it what it defines you
 We're forced into the shadows
 So we fight, fight, we give into the dark just to feel the light
 Bright, so bright, breaking through the doubt that illuminates me, oh
 I just can't shake the weight of hollowed hope and numbered days
 So we fight, we'll give into the guilt just to feel alive
 Yet again, I'm sinking into solitude
 What I'd give just to find some peace of mind
 But after all is said and done, I can make this right
 I know it's hard to see where it all went wrong
 But when heaven comes around, I'll just keep my head down
 It's all so crystal clear, I'm already here
 Yeah, I know that things don't always go to plan
 But life's too short to let the little things bring you down
 Take the fight to the fault lines and make it what defines you
 ♪
 My head's in overdrive, I can't find the brakes
 Collision course with a coma, coming up in first place, yeah, alright
 Foot to the floor, put your pedal to the metal
 Headed straight for the frontlines 'cause battle city never settles
 You better play your cards right or you'll be headed home tonight

 And I know it's hard to see where it all went wrong
 But you've come so far to give it up, and I won't let you fall
 Can't you see that the world's still turning?
 'Cause tunnel vision will just lead you to the furnace
 You gotta know, gotta know, that it's not your time to burn
 I know it's hard to see where it all went wrong
 But when heaven comes around, I'll just keep my head down
 It's all so crystal clear, I'm already here
 Now I can see that the world's still turning
 So take my hand 'cause the curtain's calling
 You gotta know, gotta know that it's not your time to burn
 Yeah, it's not your time to burn
 Yeah, it's not your time to burn
