Take back my life, take back my life this is how I take back my life We scream these words we are alive even though my body's burning red I'll sell my soul I will survive I just need a place to rest my head live for now brace yourself and make peace with the moment right now I'm standing at the edge one breath is all that it takes one push from you and I'm falling and I've been grabbing from the bottom of the barrel of things that I hate this apathy is my calling breathing fresh air is what I need to find tranquility dancing around my mind are visions I can’t find a place for some empty space in my head and I will never know how far this game will go, 'till I can answer all the questions in my head I know that you can see the man that I could be, but I have denied This is how i take back my life To take back my life like its nothing (my life) releasing (my life) control like its all new (my life) and how it doesn't exist or was it something i missed I just can't take this pressure anymore I know that you don't understand I know that this is the end The end and how it doesn't exist and i'm perpetually pissed this is the end there must be something I missed that you cannot comprehend and it's a struggle in my hands I'm not a martyr, just a man and if you stall don't understand I'll take you higher, show you who I am take you inside this is the way that I move on dancing around my mind are visions I can’t find a place for some empty space in my head and I will never know how far this game will go cause I have denied

I wouldn't cross the ocean to find the desert that's in your eyes we're running away from emotion and it's no surprise so what did you want me to say i saw the devil that's in your eyes if that’s what you want me to be, sail away you're trouble in disguise if that's what you wanted to see you brought the battle and I oblige and that's what had me running away yesterday and now I'm here to find a way and I would never be the fucking enemy I'm gonna make you believe I'm not the man you one perceived and i wouldn't cross the ocean to find the devil that's in your eyes we're running away from emotion and it's no surprise say what you wanted from me say what you wanted from me say what you wanted, you wanted from me say what you wanted from me I'll never know just how it goes who I wanna be who I am and who I wanna be is that what you wanted to see? and I know that there is something wrong the past belongs behind you it's all in your mind and i know that there is something wrong the past is gone it's over it's all in your mind and I know how it goes who I wanna be who I am and who I wanna be is that what you wanted to see? say what you wanted from me say what you wanted, you wanted from me say what you wanted from me say

Spit 02:49
Roll my eyes and block out the sound if i'm back it's without a doubt roll my eyes i'm clenching my teeth as you fucking spit in my face i am the absolute path of destruction you are the obsolete part of the plan and through the fire you are mistaken i swear I'll never fall again rise, up, and never fall again no luck left at the end you'll be running away from me and i've noticed you've seen me from the bottom of the bottle I won't let you in i won't fall for it again i can't trust you and that means too much to me I let you in you're drenched in sin don't drag me down in the wake and SPIT pointless words meant to hurt won't kill my pride and I know that I won't let you light my fire you deserve to burn alone filled with nothing but desire you will never earn this home at the end you'll be running away from me and i've noticed you've seen me from the bottom of the bottle I won't let you in i won't fall for it again i can't trust you and that means too much to me you'll understand I won't let you in I never wanna see your face again still think you can win i tried explaining but you don't understand honor, you have none so keep running your mouth I see the words are coming out there's no escape expectation quit

Exit Wounds 07:55
you won't understand that every struggle makes us stronger it's just another distraction but it's something in the way we're avoiding destruction only barely you won't bend or break when every second takes us farther into a world of malfunction but we do it anyway wind us up watch us run this world that you will break lay awake every minute every hour all the time you waste I can't wait to get away from a state of expectation to a sweet escape you will never know me i was built to seize the day show me nothing that could make me stay there’s nothing left I can't believe all the time I've spent on these worthless thoughts wishing that I'd never found them we'll fight the expectations we're more than simple minded patients in your ward when running to salvation we may fall to see there's nothing left for us with all the trees gone dry there's nothing left but time with all the trees gone dry there's nothing left but time we killed the world can you see? can you see? with no regard who are we? who are we? the same let you down won't comply take your crown the same let you down won't comply now's the time for us our day never let me our cause this debt will hold me down a freedom lost in this paradox it's a trap to make me drown burn me live yeah you might as well you won't understand that every struggle makes us stronger it's just another distraction but it's something in the way we're avoiding destruction only barely you won't bend or break when every second takes us farther into a world of malfunction but we do it anyway wind us up watch us run this world that you will break and I will lay awake with the choices I have made and do we stand for change? if we made the buildings up so tall than we can burn down and rebuild it all let the people light the fire we're all so sick of segregation we'll have the chance to make a better generation with all the trees gone dry there's nothing left but time with all the trees gone dry there's nothing left but time the same let you down won't comply take your crown the same let you down won't comply take your crown now's the time for us now's the the time for us it's a moment in our lives we can try to be better to be something new something new let the people light the fire with all the building coming down and the king has lost his crown what a pity the death of a liar let the people light the fire let them rebuild
