System Failure

We fought our ghosts
We fought our demons
We build our castle on the ruins of the past

But then the now
Became eternity somehow
We can’t escape what we left behind

Please unchain me
Can’t you release me
Please take away this all-consuming doubt
Please unchain me
Can’t you release me
Please take away this all-consuming doubt

You know I tried so hard
But I will fail you
You know I tried so hard
But I will hurt you

I know you tried so hard
But you will fail me
I know you tried so hard
But you will let me down

We’re wide eyed dreamers
Yet we couldn’t see
The nightmare lurking
Deep inside of me

I couldn’t help you
I couldn’t help myself
We saw it fade away
Like liquid in our hands

Please unchain me
Can’t you release me
Please take away this all-consuming doubt
Please unchain me
Can’t you release me
Please take away this all-consuming doubt

You know I tried so hard
But I will fail you
You know I tried so hard
But I will hurt you

I know you tried so hard
But you will fail me
I know you tried so hard
But you will let me down
