lyrics

Have you ever seen
What it takes
To find a way
To love yourself everyday
Get up off of the floor
Or you’ll be buried in it
I’m cutting off the line

I hear screaming inside, we’re not suppose to be here
I feel a dark pair of eyes, is it me or the demons
They pry you to stay alive, did I ask you a question
Sharpen my set of knives, have you learned your lesson
Oh fuck, you thought this was a pretty one
I welcome you back but you stab me once
Never again will you be let back in
You’ll have to pay and see when

I chose to be the bigger one, you slid your way back in and left with none
I hope you find a piece of you and put it down your throat like you always do

What did you think
That your gonna win?
Well you got it all wrong
I’ll bring you to your end
So stay inside
Or I’ll hunt you down
And make you mine
I’ll turn it around

Cultivating ideas as you lose control
I’ll recognize all your fears when you think they don’t show
A microscopic analysis of your whole world
That’s why they kick you to run with the rest of the herd
Put under pressure to perform your role
You worked for gold but it’ll never show
Scraping the pavement to find yourself a dime
At the end of the day, we’re all gonna die

I chose to be the bigger one, you slid your way back in and left with none
I hope you find a piece of you and put it down your throat like you always do

I told you I would speak my mind
So as it seems, everything has been turned upside down
I said don’t leave it all behind
No in between, everything’s been turned upside down
