Backlash

[Verse 1]
Hearts stay broken
Wounds won't mend
My neglect lost my only friend

Shadows cast
I thought wouldn't last
But I realized at the end

[PreChorus]
That the time I spent without you here
Was worthless
Oh, If I'd just tried to face my fears
Maybe this would hurt less

[Chorus]
But now, for a thousand years
I'll be dealing with results of my actions
My actions

If I'd just looked beyond myself
I'd avoid all of this backlash
This backlash

If I'd just tried once in my life
To help you through the nightmare
The nightmare

Maybe I'd still hear your laugh
Maybe I'd avoid this backlash
This backlash

[Verse 2]
Dark times here
I hope you'll be back soon
I can barely stand to see the moon

Outward peace is what my people see
But my throne Is my own tomb

[PreChorus]
That the time I spent without you here
Was worthless
Oh, If I'd just tried to face my fears
Maybe this would hurt less

[Chorus]
But now, for a thousand years
I'll be dealing with results of my actions
My actions

If I'd just looked beyond myself
I'd avoid all of this backlash
This backlash

If I'd just tried once in my life
To help you through the nightmare
The nightmare

Maybe I'd still hear your laugh
Maybe I'd avoid this backlash
This backlash

[Bridge]
My only hope
Rests in finding someone to pick me up where I fell down
Because through the smoke
She'll unite the ones we need
For you to be free from nightmare's crown

[Chorus]
But now, for a thousand years
I'll be dealing with results of my actions
My actions

If I'd just looked beyond myself
I'd avoid all of this backlash
This backlash

If I'd just tried once in my life
To help you through the nightmare
The nightmare

Maybe I'd still hear your laugh
Maybe I'd avoid this backlash
This backlash
