The first time that you felt power
You learned to kill them
With your silence
Iciness
The flames behind my teeth
Bite down
Year of the dragon, the seer, the witness
My crown
Do I lead or obey?
Am I a legacy?
I really thought that I'd amount to something
I should have known
They'd get me in the end
I really thought that I'd amount to something
I should have known
They'd get me in the end
It drags me under
I'm drowning in your blood
And you know it's so much better there
You didn't choose to enter
Into this cold-blooded world
But now you're here, it's too fucking late
You don't know whether to lead or obey
Borderline existence
Unrelenting resistance
I really thought that I'd amount to something
I should have known
They'd get me in the end
I really thought that I would die a legacy
I guess you win
It drags me under
I'm drowning in your blood
Waiting for something to come, wake me up
A perfect stranger standing in the flood
And you know it's so much better
