He said I would sacrifice my soul for you
To keep you from fading away in the light
I will push my will against the grain
If you would promise me the same
The world is falling down around our feet
And the monsters are at the door
Why do we still we sacrifice to stay alive
Let's just get in the car and drive
And we're tired and we're sore
And we wanted so much more
He said I wish I was a stronger man
Give you your childhood back
Sometimes I curse my lot in life
I can protect you from all but strife
We've thrown our hands into the air
Blows have glanced across our chests
Still hunted by a silhouette
But we aren't giving up just yet
And we're tired and we're sore
And we wanted so much more
