"Victory Song" lyrics

Bury the pieces
Live by the reasons
Come back to visit me some
Stand in the fire line
Lost in the lights
And you know I'm not the only one

You could tear me to pieces
Tell me your secrets
Tell me when the victory's won
Watch and believe in
Trying to get even
Time is like a loaded gun

Hope is a fading
Just in a daze
Only the irony stays
Clouds remaining
Change is a painting
The only kind to never be done

If you ask yourself
What you never really wanted to
And you made up your mind
But you never really thought it through
Now you tell me the victory's won

Babe, I'm tired
Of chasing the light
If only to say that I tried
You come to decide
A truth and a lie
There's nothing I really like

You tested yourself
Breaking your back
Your body's about to give in
You're standing in line
You keep telling yourself
If only the victory's won

If you ask yourself
What you never really wanted to
And you made up your mind
But you never really thought it through
Now you tell me the victory's won

It's down to the wire
Tell if I
Seems like I'll never be done
There's always an ending in the beginning
Two is better than one

There ain't no advice in this mystery life
In a game that can never be won
It caught my attention to gracefully mention
That you're not the only one

And I want it back
But the time just keeps on going
And you can't turn back
With the world upon your shoulder

And you ask yourself
What you never really wanted to
And you made up your mind
But you never really
Now you tell me the victory's won
