Tyrant

[Verse 1] Can we make amends, so we just pretend That we're over all the violence Are we done with this? Put it all to rest Turn the screams now into silence Will you be a man? Can you make a stand? Will you own up or deny it? All the time we lost was it worth the cost Of breaking a family in two? Destroyed all we knew [Chorus] A tyrant, so defiant Lonely as your heart is sinking Consequences, no defenses If only you had been thinking Compliant, for a moment Why did both of us have to believe that we were right? Tyrant! [Verse 2] Can I clear my mind? Leave it all behind Start to pick up all the pieces Can I hide the scars? Just like prison bars That have always seemed to confine me Will we save it all? Even from the fall Is there time left for revival Can I be convinced that some hope exists? With these wounds cut so deep in my soul Can we become whole? [Chorus] A tyrant, so defiant Lonely as your heart is sinking Consequences, no defenses If only you had been thinking Compliant, for a moment Why did both of us have to believe that we were right? Tyrant! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] There's so many things that I wanted to say But the love turned to hate we kept pushing away And the words that came out turned it into a mess And it's like pulling teeth cause you'll never confess Now the damage is done The hurt and the pain when nobody has won Have we forgot it's your blood inside of my veins That feeds my heart [Chorus] A tyrant, so defiant Lonely as your heart is sinking Consequences, no defenses If only you had been thinking Compliant, for a moment Why did both of us have to believe that we were right? Tyrant!
