Lyrics

I've been burning
And dousing the flames
I feel the whiplash
Of the backlash on my face
I melt to sleep at night
But I wake to trip the day

Never for you never for me
Would I kiss your feet of clay
I'm still alive and so should i
Soak up the wave of compromise

Am I the victim of youth
Is this the truth
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me

There's no conscience
In charity or shame
The voice deceive me
But believe me its the same
I see the black in white
And the colour in the gray

Better for me better for you
Gonna bleach it all away
I'm still alive and so should i
Soak up the wave of compromise

I see the scars, I hear the lies
So what's the truth
Why don't you tell me
