With nothing to live for We aim for a life Given the plot To the stories we write United in fate And this anthem we sing No sheep to a shepherd We're pawns to a king We claim to be something more A masterpiece, an individual Yet we fail, miserably Stuck in a cage called life We sit, we wait for more And sing the anthem of our own demise Our own demise Now take the crown This is our anthem
For the dreams we choose to live This is our anthem For a life, for a lifetime Given the power to mend Our lives to our heart's content If life's a lesson We fail to grasp That our lives are monuments Built to last Always blaming someone else For the flaw in the plan Our own mistakes Create or take your chance Preserve your dignity If you don't want your life To be a constant misery
