I've been clawing for an exit Been misdirected Seconds pass like days Cling to life and leave empty handed The mirror shows a strangers face And I've been burning at both ends So far gone Wound up, I feel the dead weight dragging on and on But I never thought I'd hate myself Past the point of saving I can't live for someone else No one else You held me down I couldn't take it How was I supposed to react? Make a dog feel trapped for long enough and it'll bite you back Never knew of the cross I'd bear once I crossed your mind Unchained No restraints My eyes are open wide this time Still, I never thought I'd hate myself Once past the point of saving I won't die for someone else I'm at grips with how sick I've made myself I'll be the one to take the pain Nobody else And defy the hand I'm dealt
