Desolation Lyrics

I look at the world and shake my head
I don’t understand it at all
Head on in the fast lane, end up dead
This could be your wake-up call

Years go in the blink of an eye
Flounderin’ in the web of lies
Back to the wall, you’re ready to see
All these scars only time can heal

Don’t turn away from love they say
While life ain’t fair, love is the way
Slow down or break down
Ain’t too late

Kiss those fairy tales goodbye
Live your life out of desolation and fly

For what is gained there’s a cost
You used everyone to the max
And for the ghost of what is lost
You’re shootin’ at the white flags
