We The Machine - The Fallen lyrics

This can be so overwhelming and it's shattering this disguise; this secret life is hanging over me

I will not let this be my legacy here, this salvation is absolving me

And it feels like there's no one here

I won't be waiting for the lightning to disappear

Forever the Fallen

We all fear what we've become

I've become my own worst enemy here

We are here for what we've done

Building our lives on lies in disguise

We've leased our paradise, and I will rise

Nobody around to hear me cry out

Too late and all for naught; cry out "Oh God, can anyone hear me?"

Compassion? What is this place You've left me?

Compassion? What is this bed You've made for me?

We all fear what we've become

I've become my own worst enemy here

We are here for what we've done

Building our lives on lies in disguise

Fighting for the battles won

It's plaguing me over and over again

We all fear what we've become - my own worst enemy

We are The Fallen away from Grace

We are forgotten in masquerade

Guide our hearts to make us believe

We are the Fallen, the cast away

I hear you.
