All my friends were there just to stand in my place
And my mother she came and painted my face
And I left to fight but the war wasn’t long
Will you stay with me 'til I finish this song?
Oh I’ve come to terms with all the lies that I’ve told
Oh I’ve got some regrets but not the things that I’ve sold
Cause I’ve put my heart in all of the things that I’ve made
I don’t look to fight but I’ll sharpen my blade
I’m the second child of a family of two
I’m not born to be a natural leader like you
But I’ve found something I can lose myself in
Cross the border and I can finally sleep again
There are many lines I’ve let disappear
And my memories, most left for the frontier
And the cards came down, I played out my hand
I was born to write all the words for my band
