Hard Way Out

Mephistopheles is dead

But the last thing the little bastard said

Was that any fool can have my crown

If they claim the lost before they're found

Your broken heart will mend in time

But some crusades they just cross the line

It's a hard way out

It's a hard way out I know

You don't have to be the only one

Trying to save the world

You don't have to hold on to

The stone to save the girl

There's a bluebird out your window

And that's a myth about the rain

The hard way out is hopeless

And that ain't ever going to change

Faces flashing in the sky

All around your room and the reasons why

Is this revenge or just release

You don't have to hurt yourself to keep the peace

These could be the best years you could fly and you could shine

You do not have to prove that you are strong or that you were right

It's a hard way out

It's a hard way out I know

The hard way out is hopeless

And that ain't ever going to change
