The Great Disillusion Lyrics by Betraying the Martyrs

The Resilient

2016

[Intro]
How could I have been so fucking blind?
[Verse 1]
Look out, look out, look by your side
Sometimes the devil wears a pretty disguise
So reach out, cry out, open my eyes
Show me my future before I kiss it goodbye
[Chorus]
And you told me we could fly
So I hold on and once again
Once again I leave it all behind
You told me we could swim
So I climbed so high up to a mountain for you
I closed my eyes, and I took the dive
[Post-Chorus]
How can I make up for all this lost time?!
[Verse 2]
The scent of home sweet home
Now bears the bitterest smell
And the land I was meant to love
Feels like a short stay in hell
Feels like a short stay in hell
It's time to let go
[Chorus]
And you told me we could fly
So I hold on and once again
Once again I leave it all behind
You told me we could swim
So I climbed so high up to a mountain for you
I closed my eyes, and I took the dive
[Bridge]
How can I make up for all this fucking lost time?
That I'll never ever get back
25 to life
I thank you for, thanks for wasting my time
Time I'll never ever, ever ever get back
How could I have been so fucking blind?!
[Chorus]
And you told me we could fly
So I hold on and once again
Once again I leave it all behind
You told me we could swim
So I climbed so high up to a mountain for you
I closed my eyes, and I took the dive
[Outro]
And I took the dive
And I took the dive
You told me could fly
So I hold on and once again
Once again I leave it all behind
You told me we could swim
So I climbed so high up to a mountain for you
I closed my eyes...
Life is so fucking bad
