Battle X City Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Lie 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?

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
We're forced into the shadows
So we fight, fight
We give into the dark just to feel the light
Bright, so bright
Breaching 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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
My heads 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
[Chorus 2: Samantha Bower]
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 worlds still turning?
'Cause tunnel vision will just lead you to the furnace
You gotta know, gotta know-oh-oh-ohhh
That it's not your time to burn

[Outro: Connor Hallisey, Tobias Young, & Samantha Bower]
I know it's hard (I know it's hard)
To see where it all went wrong (To see where it all went wrong)
But when heaven comes around
I'll just keep my head down (Head down)
It's all so crystal clear (I'm already here)
Now I can see that world's still turning
So take my hand 'cause the curtain's calling
You gotta know, gotta know-oh-oh-ohhh
That it's not your time to burn
Yeah, it's not your time to burn
Yeah, it's not your time to burn
