Through Jaded Eyes

Say goodbye to nothing watch nothing change
Before you reconstruct, destroy everything
Patience is one virtue that I'd like to trade
I need a little something more worth its weight

I guess I'll make my way down to ringside
This is one fight I don't want to miss tonight
And I don't even worry about a word they say
This underdog is finally going to have his day
And I don't even care what the score is
It's my infirmary, the way it used to be

Absence is a blessing or so they say
Just when you turn your back, it all slips away
I can't get a grip on this reality
There's nothing left for me outside an empty fate

I guess I'll make my way down to ringside
This is one fight I don't want to miss tonight
And I don't even worry about a word they say
This underdog is finally going to have his day
And I don't even care what the score is
It's my infirmary, the way it used to be

Don't you think that yesterday
Was a safer place to run away
Where your conscience of delinquency
Was just enough to compensate
For the absence of humility
For the absence of conformity
Before your jaded eyes begin to see
All the things we grow to be
