We have fallen;
We have failed.
Yet we are brave enough
To tell our tale.

We have broken --
We shattered when we fell down.
We never faltered --
We never even made a sound.
We have broken
Too many words left unspoken.

Life, we have abandoned
Due to all the ones who've taken
Us, they took control.
They're never letting go.

We are the promise,
The masters of illusion.
We are the brilliant disguise.
