[Verse 1]
Dreams lie smashed again
They've pinned your back to the wall
Like faded pictures of what might have been
Fate is cruel when dreams, like candles, fade

[Pre-Chorus]
Smashed again down into the gray
Despise for a world turned cold
No one sees what tomorrow knows

[Chorus]
There's a shame in blind suffering
Dishonor from the inside
Find hope from the voice within
Clear vision of your own mind

[Verse 2]
Mistakes you wear like your skin
You wish you'd never been born
Stand up; you can't escape your past
But fools will try just to forget
From where they came

[Pre-Chorus]
Smashed again down into the gray
Despise for a world grown cold
No one sees what tomorrow knows
[Chorus]
There's a shame in blind suffering
Dishonor from the inside
Find hope from the voice within
Clear vision of your own mind

[Bridge]
No more color to will to fade
To see life clearly, regretful nevermore
Take the time, make the time

[Verse 1 Reprise]
Dreams lie smashed again
They've pinned your back to the wall
Faded pictures of what might have been
Fate is cruel when dreams, like candles, fade

[Pre-Chorus]
Smashed again down into the gray
Despise for a world turned cold
No one sees what tomorrow knows

[Chorus]
There's a shame in blind suffering
Dishonor from the inside
Find hope from the voice within
Clear vision of your own mind
[Chorus / Outro]
There's shame in false victory
Dishonor from the inside
False pride, all you can't redeem
Clear vision of your own mind
