TITLE. LYRICS

Studio version

Warsaw

I was there in the backstage
When first light came around
I grew up like a changeling
To win the first time around
I can see all the weakness
I can pick all the faults
Well I concede all the faith tests
Just to stick in your throats

31G

I hung around in your soundtrack
To mirror all that you've done
To find the right side of reason
To kill the three lies for one
I can see all the cold facts
I can see through your eyes
All this talk made no contact
No matter how hard we tried

31G

I can still hear the footsteps
I can see only walls
All this talk made no contact
With no hearing at all
I just see contradiction
Had to give up the fight
Just to live in the past tense
To make believe you were right

31G
