Tyrant - Disturbed

Can we make amends?

Do we just pretend that we’re over all the violence?

Are we done with this?

Put it all to rest, turn the screams now into silence

Will you be a man?

Can you make a stand?

Will you own up or deny it?

All the time we lost, was it worth the cost

Of breaking our family in two?

Destroyed all we knew

A tyrant, so defiant

Lonely as your heart’s sinking

Consequences, no defenses

If only you had been thinking

And compliant, for a moment

Why did both of us have to believe that we were right?

Tyrant!

Can I clear my mind?

Leave it all behind?

Start to pick up all the pieces

Can I hide the scars?

Just like prison bars

That have always seemed to confine me

Will we save it all?

Even from the fall?

Is there time left for revival?

Can I be convinced that some hope exists?

With these wounds cut so deep in my soul

Can we become whole?

A tyrant, so defiant

Lonely as your heart’s sinking

Consequences, no defenses

If only you had been thinking

And compliant, for a moment

Why did both of us have to believe that we were right?

Tyrant!

There’s so many things that I wanted to say

But the love turned to hate we kept pushing away

And the words that came out turned it into a mess

And it’s like pulling teeth, 'cause you’ll never confess

Now the damage is done

The hurt and the pain when nobody has won

Have we forgot it’s your blood inside of my veins

That feeds my heart?

A tyrant, so defiant

Lonely as your heart’s sinking

Consequences, no defenses

If only you had been thinking

And compliant, for a moment

Why did both of us have to believe that we were right?

Tyrant!
