"Stay the course", I naively recite
Passively, bracing for the impact
All this time, you were running red lights
Why stop now? Crossed the line miles back
Reignite that old spark with your match
Burn it down to the ground where we stand
So it seems, there was something we lacked
Fill your voids with the knives in my back
I just want to know
Was it worth all the pain we've endured?
I'm asking you now
Why build it up just to burn it all down?
