[Verse 1]
Time and time again I hoped
For things to get better
Time and time again I hoped
For everything to change
If there's something repeated It's conflict and evil
It's red and deceiving
My heart keeps on bleeding again
Now's the day I stop believing

[Verse 2]
Time and time again I failed
To protect those I hold dear to me
Time and time again I failed
And I have myself to blame
If there's something that's winning
It's chaos and violеnce
The war nevеr ends
And it's starting to make sense now
They keep screaming "soldier down"

[Chorus]
You've taken my kindness for weakness
And the cycle ends now
I'll plotting the dots that
You can't connect now
I'll be unsuspected when I start a new commotion
I'll keep acting in behalf of my emotions
You'll be dead by my sword and
I'm happy to do it again
[Verse 3]
Time and time again I thought
That war isn't worth it
Time and time again I thought
That empathy's the way
If there's something that's missing
It's peace undeserving
It's lives we are trading
The dark side I'm hiding 'til now
Turn the tables back around

[Chorus]
You've taken my kindness for weakness
And the cycle ends now
I'll plotting the dots that
You can't connect now
I'll be unsuspected when I start a new commotion
I'll keep acting in behalf of my emotions
You'll be dead by my sword and
I'm happy to do it again

[Bridge]
If it's meant to be bringing your pain
I will do it again
If it's hurting you where you hurt me
I will do it again
Even if I lose my last life
From my deathbed I arise
The element of surprise will flash before your eyes
If it haunts you for seeing me
I tell you, I will do it again
If it's meant to be bringing your pain
I will do it again
If it's hurting you where you hurt me
I will do it again
Even if I lose my last life
From my deathbed I arise
The element of surprise will flash before your eyes
If it haunts you for seeing me
I tell you I will do it again
[Outro]
You've taken my kindness for weakness
And the cycle ends now
I'll plotting the dots that
You can't connect now (Can't connect now, now)
I'll be unsuspected when I start a new commotion
I'll keep acting in behalf of my emotions
You'll be dead by my sword and
I'm happy to do it again
