I was never hurt enough to cry
I was never lost enough to die
I was off-guard and unprepared
For the world that never cared
With little scars on my hands
Take my soul and leave the rest
I sacrificed my mind and blood
For the people long gone mad
For the fears I had to face
For the dreams I had to chase
Little stories in my head
Cold nightmares in my bed
Pale faces I’ve never known
Dirty places I had to crawl
Honest love I couldn’t find
Today I left it all behind
I can’t believe enough to lie
I can’t achieve enough to try
I’ll be cold and undeterred
For the mask that I preferred
With little cause for my quest
I make an oath to be the best
