This Love, This Hate

In a time of need only few can see what's wrong

millions tend to crawl but only those who

choose can make it through this all,

only few can sing like lions because we sing until we're gone

and we've got each others backs until we're back where we belong

a woman held my shield and through the battles we did wrong

a man who taught me wisdom through the static we recall

and maybe when we're gone our names will echo through the stars

every start's got it's ending even when we've learned to rise above it all



[Chorus]

These lies are leading me astray

it's too much for me to stay

I don't wanna live this destiny

it goes on endlessly

I see you, so please stay strong

I'll sing you one last song and then I'm gone

I don't wanna live this destiny

it goes on endlessly



And we once also had a story too

you can see that good men only come in few

Even in our greatest moments, we may win or we may lose

every song's got its rules, you've got to learn to make it through

Maybe one day we can choose how it feels to be a woman or a man

without rules but buried underneath, there's a picture glued

So when my body burns in ashes only sing the truth

Let these words strengthen all your views

because these words were meant for you



[Chorus]



And now I'm floatin' right above my coffin as it closes I look down

I see Sai as she's cryin' on my momma's shoulder

I look up into the sky as the gates to heaven open something's wrong

is this destiny or am I going home

what will happen to my soul will I come back I don't know

will you meet me when it's over, let me know

You can meet me here in heaven don't you ever let me go



This love this hate is burning me away



[Chorus] x2



This love this hate is burning me away

This love this hate is burning me away
