Lyrics

We started out in the prison,
United by our chains,
We knew the worst of all suffering,
We knew the turbulent rains,
But we had to survive,
For whatever lied beyond,
It was never a qiestion of strength,
For we were never that strong.

But I saw you down on your knees,
I heard you begging them please,
You didn't care 'bout control,
When you bargained with your soul,
You knew you had to escape,
ANd you knew just what to say,
While I was trapped in the crowd,
You took the easy way out.

Well, I had dealt with the pain,
And I had dealt with the moans,
But it was all knew to me,
When I had to do it alone,
And there were times when I thought,
That there was nothing to save,
It was never a question of courage,
For I was never that brave.

And I broke my back,
While the sun faded to black,
And I struggled and crawled,
To break through all the walls,
And how I burned and I choked,
On the cancerous smoke,
And as I dug through the ground,
You took the easy way out.

And while you gathered your fortune,
I was just trying to be free,
You sold more of yourself,
I learned more about me,
And while you reached the top,
I was just trying to endure,
It wasn't a question of truth,
'Cause I was never that sure,

And as the city was dying,
You kept drinking your wine,
And when they knocked on your door,
You only knew to ignore,
And when it finally gave way,
You found some way to escape,
Consumed by fire and drought,
And you took the easy way out.

And when it was just you and I,
We were united again,
On the top of your roof,
Where we knew it would end,
You offered me everything,
But I didn't care,
It was never a question of justice,
'Cause life was never that fair,

And all you knew was your fear,
When your focus wasn't clear,
And you couldn't compete,
For all you'd known was defeat,
And with a shattering sound,
You plummeted down to the ground,
And I tried to reach out,
But you took the easy way out.
