Lyrics:

Don't get your hopes up
Said the people I trust
More easily said than done
It's been a hard lesson
There's something wrong when one becomes reluctant to fall in love
When one's own blood stands pointing the gun

My helplessness is a vicious cycle
Causing frustration that debilitates
One is truly paralyzed
When one sees that time has begun to move too fast and too slow all at once
And I can't determine whether it happened gradually or immediately,
But my own weakness is now apparent to me

Every day
Everyone lies
Even if they don't realize
So go ahead and decide
Focus your eyes on mine
Tell me everything I'd die to hear after all this time
You'll just change your mind
And guilty conscience drives you to justify your actions
Then criticize mine

Fool me twice
I'm ashamed to find these hopes have gotten so high
Always half-expecting your story to change
Give me your word
Then rescind
Spit my confessions back in my face
Nothing replaces trust like total control

My helplessness is a vicious cycle
Causing frustration that debilitates
One is truly paralyzed
When one sees that time has begun to move too fast and too slow all at once
And I can't determine whether it happened
Gradually
Or immediately
But my own weakness is now apparent to me


Fathers and heroes may make promises they cannot keep
But for the sake of continuing my life
I will promise myself one thing
That I send my last hope to apathy
For it is the only hero that will save me
