lyrics

There must be some way to forget the endless days and sleepless nights
Somethings got to give, some things I just have to forgive
Looking past the past I've put it all behind me, but the back of my mind is something else entirely

I need this now more than anything
The direction I've set myself in, to be who I know I can be
This is realisation, this is being aware of the situations that I've put myself into
Some fights always stay with you
(I need this now more than anything, and I realize that this innovation is caving in on who I use to be, I've got one fucking chance and I'm not wasting it)

Take the hits as they come
And as you call out my name, I'll take every word spoken, every detriment thrown my way and spit it in your face
You convoluted pig
Spit it right back in your face

What do you take me for, a coward with a crutch, a lamb to the slaughter raised to be bought and sold?
I am not who I used to be

I've got a bad back, and tired weary knees in my twenties
(Take your place, stand down and take your place) (x4)

I've got a bad back, from dragging you and all your shit behind me

For once I've found myself at the mercy of my own indiscretions, everything caught up to me
Ignorance is a virtue, being conscious is the hell that I've made for myself, haunted like a house
In desolation is no way to live, I'm washing my hands of this
(I need this now more than anything, and I realize this innovation is caving in on who i use to be, I've got one fucking chance and I'm not wasting it)
