lyrics

Standing here looking over this city
I'm screaming out from the top of my lungs.
While you wallow in your own self pity
Will you ever learn to save yourself?
My work is done here and I'm growing tired, of the same old shit you face me with.
(Night after night)
And I swear that I, I just can't keep, keep up with this pace.
So when you call my name, call my name.
(fuck)
Always waiting for the worst to come.
Always waiting for someone to save the world.
You might think that I'm your saviour
But I'm not here to save you anymore
At least that's what I tell myself.
Another day of this, I swear you've never known.
What it is, it is to struggle
What it is on your own.
I want to rest
I want my bones to set
My bruises and my scars
Show I can only go so far.
When daylight comes and lives are lost
You show me what it is to hate.
So stop calling for me, calling for me
The light which used to guide you now fades away.
(fuck)
Always waiting for the worst to come.
Always waiting for someone to save the world.
You might think that I'm your saviour
But I'm not here to save you anymore
At least that's what I tell myself.
This is your final chance to come out of this unscathed.
So fuck everything you stand for and walk away
You give everything and everything they fucking take.
You can't do this, you can't do this.
(Surrender)
It's not an option
(Surrender)
Is not a choice we make.
I'll stand here, watching over you.
Not every hero wears a fucking cape.
Just take me home, take me home.
To the life I used to know
Just take me home, take me home.
Back to the life I used to know.
Always waiting for the worst to come.
Always waiting for someone to save the world.
You might think that I'm your saviour
But I'm not here to save you anymore
At least that's what I tell myself.
You might think that I'm your saviour, I'm not here to save you anymore.
At least that's what I tell myself
