Like the feathers in a frozen lake
Shreds of a world that was
Like the curtain call behind the stage
Did we hear the applause?
And I guess that life will never be the same...
Like the mirrors that we painted black
Could not see our decay
Like the walls we built between us
Watched the dreamers fade away
But I guess the road you chose was worth its cost
Trapped in our swan song
They built us up, made our hearts strong
We tore us down, turned a blind eye
Was it all a lie?
Like the roses we watched wilt and die
We all would have to drown
Like the ashes from the flaming skies
My world is burning down
But I'm not the one to blame for who you are
Trapped in our swan song
They built us up, made our hearts strong
We tore us down, turned a blind eye
Was it all a lie?
Lost in my own mind
Caught between lies and my own pride
No shelter to hide behind
As our stars aligned
Time to bid farewell
To break the spell
To leave our cell
Like the bullets I let ricochet
Your world will be reborn
And the makeshift doors I locked behind
Will paint our tale forlorn
Trapped in our swan song
Life taught us all how to be wrong
We taught ourselves how to fall
Maybe time will heal all
Lost in a cold war
Freedom was worth fighting for
Left with my dreams, nothing more
It's a shame that's all they will ever be
