Human life is flawed by design
It's not really built to survive
And I'll protect you
Cut the flower and watch it just die
The scent living on in your mind
It's how we love

Killer, broken, battered, bitter
I can see the innocence fading

Feel so alive, we break
Somehow forget we're mortal, there's no escaping
We know when we die
The life that we live is the blink of an eye

Easily we're misled
Best intentions corrupted
There's no justice
We build imitations of life
Somehow we're meant to survive when we hardly know
What we are, we're

Killer, broken, battered, bitter, I can see the innocence fading

Feel so alive, we break
Somehow forget we're mortal, there's no escaping
We know when we die
The life that we live is the blink of an eye
