Lyrics Written by Nathan D. Tucker

I was never so delusional
To think we saw the same
On what to choose to value
On who to place the blame

I always held onto the myth
Together we'd be strong
But I guess I never knew you...
I was wrong

I dared to dream that we were one
That dream was just a dream
You've forfeited yourself

I doubt I'll ever understand
The motivations you possess
Or how you see the world around you
I could only guess

What could possibly excuse
What you've bought into
The ideals you've burned into your heart
The hypocrisy of you

 

I dared to dream that we were one
That dream was just a dream
You've forfeited yourself

 

I dared to dream that we were one
That dream was just a dream
You've forfeited yourself


How can you hold
The lies that you're told
The straw strung from hate
And spun into gold

Your obsession to win
Blinded you to when
You so effortlessly
Failed at being human

 

I dared to dream that we were one
That dream was just a dream
You've forfeited yourself

 

I dared to dream that we were one
That dream was just a dream
You've forfeited yourself
