Time and time again I hoped
For things to get better
Time and time again I hoped
For everything to change
If there's something repeated
It's conflict and evil
It's red and deceiving
My heart keeps on bleeding, again
Now's the day I stop believing
Time and time again I failed
To protect those I hold dear to me
Time and time again, I failed
And I have myself to blame
If there's something that's winning
It's chaos and violence
The war never ends
And it's starting to make sense now
They keep screaming, "Soldier down"
You've taken my kindness for weakness
And the cycle ends now
I'll be plotting the dots that
You can't connect now
I'll be unsuspected when I start a new commotion
I'll keep acting in behalf of my emotions
You'll be dead by my sword and
I'm happy to do it again
Time and time again I thought
That war isn't worth it
Time and time again I thought
That empathy's the way
If there's something that's missing
It's peace undeserving
It's lives we are trading
The dark side I'm hiding 'til now
Turn the tables back around
You've taken my kindness for weakness
And the cycle ends now (ah)
I'll be plotting the dots that
You can't connect now (ah)
I'll be unsuspected when I start a new commotion
I'll keep acting in behalf of my emotions
You'll be dead by my sword and
I'm happy to do it again
If it's meant to be bringing your pain
I will do it again (do it again)
If it's hurting you where you hurt me
I will do it again
Even if I lose my last life
From my deathbed, I arise
The element of surprise will flash before your eyes
If it haunts you for seeing me
I tell you, I will do it again
Oh, if it's meant to be bringing your pain
I will do it again (I will do it again)
If it's hurting you where you hurt me
I will do it again (I will do it again)
Even if I lose my last life
From my deathbed, I arise
The element of surprise will flash before your eyes
If it haunts you for seeing me
I tell you, I will do it again
You've taken my kindness for weakness
And the cycle ends now (the cycle ends now)
I'll plotting the dots that
You can't connect now (can't connect now, now)
I'll be unsuspected when I start a new commotion (oh)
I'll keep acting in behalf of my emotions
You'll be dead by my sword and
I'm happy to do it again (again)
