lyrics

The silence - deafening the words upon my tongue
I try to see the damage I have done
And as the pounding of the blood inside my ears
Subsides, I hope there's nothing left to hear

CHORUS:
No it doesn't have to be a battle of the ego,
Listen to the music,
What is there to lose (is there to lose?)

I've seen a lot of men tangle in their pride
And talk themselves a knot they can't untie
Oh you know your temper is a temporary gain
The conflict and your worth are not the same

Put these guns aside,
Take a minute to see clearly through your eyes

CHORUS:
No it doesn't have to be a battle of the ego
Listen to the music,
What is there to lose (is there to lose?)

CHORUS:
No it doesn't have to be a battle of the ego
Listen to the music,
What is there to lose (is there to lose?)
Listen to the music,
What is there to lose, is there to lose, is there to lose?
