So speak, to me
Let me hear, the words I need
Turn your face, to the light, I can see the lie
For years you've played this game, never an ounce of shame
Was it a hoax? Or was it a casualty?

There's no wisdom in trying
Ashes spread out in the street, I stand in defeat
There's no courage in dreaming
Ashes spread out in the street, I stand in defeat

The apparition of her body, I see the contours where they lie
A single point in the dark sky, too cruel to say goodbye
Was it a test? Or am I the casualty?

There's no solace in crying
Ashes spread out in the street, I fall in defeat
There's no respite in dying,
Ashes spread out in the street, I fall in defeat

Casualty

I've been writing songs for a long time, I have been involved in a number of original projects. The purpose of Could've Been Contenders is to release into the atmosphere these songs I can't stop writing, whether any one is listening or not.
