Life can be so overwhelming Constantly consuming all of me Life can be so overwhelming Constantly consuming all of me Another day One on one with self doubt In the comfort of loathing You used to be so calm A fortress impenetrable (impenetrable) Now a shameful man In endless woe Despite your love I still hate myself, but I would rather die than be someone else If it takes too long to get yourself in line Take your scorn, I don't need you Choke on empty words, I won't believe you I'll take my time breathing faith back in my life Being a coward isn't going so well Aren't you better than this? Stand up for yourself What you get is what you give So use your heart to breakdown These walls from within In a shade of discontent I blind myself in ignorance You are the smog surrounding me I will extinguish you indefinitely I am self-enslaved Every link, every chain, you'll find my name But I will bestow all forms Of hope and valor within these arms Tear down your apathy Don't waste another second hearing what you don't believe This life is yours to take You're just another barrier for me to break Dispossession This is the end of grief Dispossession Having it's hold on me Dispossession This is the end of grief Dispossession Having it's hold on me Despite your love I still hate myself, but I would rather die than be someone else If it takes too long to get yourself in line Take your scorn I don't need you Choke on empty words I won't believe you I'll take my time Breathing faith back in my life The way your emotions waver Like a harsh and violent wind Tipping over the scales of despair Hoping to never weigh you down again Despite your love I still hate myself But I would rather die Than be someone else
