[Intro] (Instrumental) [Chorus 1] How many faces have I seen again and again? How many voices have I heard again and again? Different words, the same old lies The same old play in a new disguise Turns out I only wore away Nothing ever seemed to change The world remained exactly the same The one I wished to change was yesterday's me [Verse 1] I believed one truth could lead us all Somewhere deep, I'd answer every call Thought these words could break right through Thought someday they'd finally hear the truth More flags rising in the air More voices fading into nowhere Yet every ending stays the same Only different skies remain [Pre-Chorus 1] No one broke this world apart No one lied right from the start It's only what we chose to be Still spinning endlessly [Chorus 2] How many dreams have slipped away again? How many lies survived another day? Different names, the same old game The same old play in a new disguise Only pieces fell away Nothing ever seemed to change The world remained exactly the same The one I wished to change was today's me [Verse 2] People choose a story over truth Comfort over something new Rather than standing all alone They'd rather find somewhere called home I don't blame the choice they make I don't judge the path they take Reading from the script once more Ending where we've been before [Pre-Chorus 2] The waves are waves as they've always been The wind still sings the same old song I thought I could hold back the tide Before my name was washed aside [Chorus 3] How many faces have I seen again and again? How many voices have I heard again and again? Different words, the same old lies The same old play in a new disguise Only lost my voice that day Nothing ever seemed to change The world remained exactly the same The one I wished to change was tomorrow's me [Bridge] I thought these words would reach the sky I thought this world would finally change Looking down beneath my feet I found the same unbroken ring [Final Chorus] How many dreams have slipped away again? How many lies survived another day? The ending never seems to change Just another scene upon the stage I won't deny what I believed I won't deny the fight in me The world remained exactly the same The one I sought was the truest me [Outro] The waves are waves as they've always been The wind still sings the same old song
