lyrics

There's no unquestioning acceptance
Of the ruse you've used before
You're not promoting misconceptions
That were known to open doors

There are no hues of hope
Within the palette you display
Only shades of desperation
Variations based in pain

We saw it from the start
That we were headed for the end
Too proud to ask for pardon
Too hardened to pretend

There are shouts that can't be silenced
There are doubts we can't suspend
So in starting out
We're headed for the end

There is no wisdom in denying
When the writing's on the wall
There's nothing right that's worth the fighting
There is no height that's worth the fall

There is no shame in resignation
When the current leads you on
There's nothing left for preservation
There is no sense of right and wrong

We saw it from the start
That we were headed for the end
Too proud to ask for pardon
Too hardened to pretend

There are shouts that can't be silenced
There are doubts we can't suspend
So in starting out
We're headed for the end
