Can we make amends
Do we just pretend
That we're over all the violence
Are we done with this
Put 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
Tyrant
So defiant
Lonely is your heart, is sinking
Consequences, no defences
If only you had been thinking
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 my 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
Tyrant
So defiant
Lonely is your heart, is sinking
Consequences, no defences
If only you had been thinking
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 into 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
Where nobody has won, Have we forgot it's your blood
Inside my veins, that feeds my heart
Tyrant
So defiant
Lonely is your heart, is sinking
Consequences, no defences
If only you had been thinking
Compliant
For a moment
Why did both of us have to believe that
We were right?
Tyrant!
