Why are we fighting 00:01

Why are we lying 00:06

Maybe god come and help me out 00:12

But he can't see the damned in this crowd 00:17

Did i loose it all 00:23

How did i miss the call 00:28

Conform me to an image of a doll 00:34

Break me up against his wall 00:39

I can't look in the mirror 00:45

And see myself standing there 00:49

All i see is an illusion 00:51

Fighting a war against the ones that care 00:55

No need for saving just set me free 01:00

Can you please forgive me 01:13

Words can't say the makings 01:18

Buildings crumble down under 01:24

And lovers crash at the sound of thunder 01:29

I once believed 01:35

Honesty was key 01:41

But i cant stay and live this way 01:46

Cuz every time i stand you take it away 01:52

I can't look in the mirror 01:58

And see myself standing there 02:01

All i see is an illusion 02:03

Fighting a war against the ones that care 02:07

No need for saving just set me free 02:14

Once i was young now im old 02:26

To see the truth that hides in me 02:31

I can't look in the mirror 02:38

And see myself standing there 02:41

All i see is an illusion 02:43

Fighting a war against the ones that care 02:47

No need for saving just set me free 02:53

I just can't look in the mirror 02:59

And see myself standing there 03:03

All i see is an illusion 03:05

Fighting a war against the ones that care 03:09

No need for saving just set me free 03:16

Lyrics:

[English]

Why are we fighting

Why are we lying

Maybe god come and help me out

But he can't see the damned in this crowd

Did i loose it all

How did i miss the call

Conform me to an image of a doll

Break me up against his wall

I can't look in the mirror

And see myself standing there

All i see is an illusion

Fighting a war against the ones that care

No need for saving just set me free

Can you please forgive me

Words can't say the makings

Buildings crumble down under

And lovers crash at the sound of thunder

I once believed

Honesty was key

But i cant stay and live this way

Cuz every time i stand you take it away

I can't look in the mirror

And see myself standing there

All i see is an illusion

Fighting a war against the ones that care

No need for saving just set me free

Once i was young now im old

To see the truth that hides in me

I can't look in the mirror

And see myself standing there

All i see is an illusion

Fighting a war against the ones that care

No need for saving just set me free

I just can't look in the mirror

And see myself standing there

All i see is an illusion

Fighting a war against the ones that care

No need for saving just set me free
