[Verse 1] What a mess This all became. The purpose started with valiance, Now it’s all gone dark. Only so many minutes in the day, Seconds we won’t get back now, Wasted on the long pursuit Of setting records straight. [Pre-Chorus] Now it’s almost the end, I can feel the changing air. A day that found its purpose Has finally found its end. [Chorus] Keep your eye on the target Until the target disappears. Then you find yourself shouting At an empty auditorium. I know what I saw. It was my right to call it wrong. But I’d never wish an end like this On any kind of man. [Verse 2] Too far. It’s gone on. Lost the railing. Now we’re in free fall. We won the war. Our flag is everywhere. But how much did it cost When we have to stand in it? [Bridge] You started it. This mess was yours alone. I just wanted you to rebuild. Now look at this shitshow. Don’t get me wrong, You needed a break. There were a thousand ways this could have ended. This one went too far. [Final Chorus] Keep your eye on the target Until the target disappears. Then you find yourself shouting At an empty auditorium. I know what I saw. I know why I joined the fight. But knowing how the war began Doesn’t make the ending right. [Outro] What a mess This all became. We won the war. Now we have to stand in it.
