Lyrics


1. WHO I AM

Go

You learn to live with pressure when it's the only thing you feel
It's never like you see, it feels like you never know what's real
I don't cave on the outside
But it wears me down in my own mind

Don't forget I'm human, I'm not alive for your amusement
Lost in your delusion, you don't know who I am
Don't forget I'm human, I've got the open wounds to prove it
And you don't get to choose it, you don't know who I am

Who I am

You learn to live with judgment like it's a shadow on the wall
It's never good enough, it just wants to see you, wants to see you fall
Wants to see you fall
Guess that's life after all

Don't forget I'm human, I'm not alive for your amusement
Lost in your delusion, you don't know who I am
Don't forget I'm human, I've got the open wounds to prove it
And you don't get to choose it, you don't know who I am

So sick of reading what you say
Say it to my face
What?
Say it to my face

Don't forget I'm human, it takes all I have to do this
Lost in your delusion, you don't know who I am
Don't forget I'm human, I've got the open wounds to prove it
And you don't get to choose it, you don't know who I am

Don't forget I'm human, you don't know who I am
Don't forget I'm human, you don't know who I am
You learn to live with pressure, you learn to live with hate
You learn to live with judgment, you don't know who I am
Who I am
Who I am


2. PRISON

Feels like I'm caught in a whirlwind inside my head
I'm my own natural disaster beneath my skin

I can't explain
And you just won't get it
I can't numb the pain
It's all I think about

I can't explain
And you just won't get it
I can't numb the pain

I'm too deep to believe I can face myself
It's hard not to give up when you go through hell
Woah oh oh, oh oh oh
I'm trapped in my skin, this is my prison

Behind the bars I create for myself
No one else to blame
Alone and helpless I'm tied to all this
Living in my chains

I can't explain
And you just won't get it
I can't numb the pain

I'm too deep to believe I can face myself
It's hard not to give up when you go through hell
Woah oh oh, oh oh oh
I'm trapped in my skin, this is my prison

I can't explain
And you'll never get it
So tell me what's the point now

I can't explain
And you just won't get it
I can't numb the pain
(Numb the pain)

I'm too deep to believe I can face myself
It's hard not to give up when you go through hell
Woah oh oh, oh oh oh
I'm trapped in my skin, this is my prison
I'm trapped in my skin, this is my prison

This is my prison


3. GRAVE

You're still the person I remember
Make sure they're watching so you're the center
Of attention, I start to wear thin
Your mind's the drug and you skipped the intervention

You will never change
You will never change
You will never change
(You'll take it to your grave)

You will never change
You will never change
You will never change

You're still the person I wanna see less
Your identity as deep as your flesh
You come around like it never happened
I'm the knife, you're the gun fight I'll never win

You will never change
You will never change
You will never change
(You'll take it to your grave)

You will never change
You will never change
You will never change
(You'll take it to your grave)

I've given all you can take
(Never let it go, never, ever let it go)
I've given all you can take
(You'll take it to your grave...)

Burn the pages
But you can't erase it
Burn the pages
But you can't erase it

Burn the pages
But you can't erase it
Burn the pages
But you can't erase it

I've given all you can take
(Never let it go, never, ever let it go)
I've given all you can take
(You'll take it to your grave)

You will never change
You will never change
You will never change
(You'll take it to your grave)

You will never change
You will never change
You will never change
(You'll take it to your grave)

(You'll take it to your grave)
(You'll take it to your grave)


4. GHOST

You only feel my ghost

I'm a stranger to my family
And a ghost to those I love
The further that I go it seems like the farther we become

I've been so lost in the moment
Bound by the hands of time

Let me go
Heal the cracks in my broken bones
My shadow is all you know
I'm here but it doesn't show
You only feel my ghost

This ends with what I love and what I hate
But you can't relate

Now I know I'm just a product of choices made
But I still need someone to blame

Let me go
Heal the cracks in my broken bones
My shadow is all you know
I'm here but it doesn't show
You only feel my ghost

I've been so lost in the moment
Bound by the hands of time

Let me go
My shadow is all you know

Let me go
Heal the cracks in my broken bones
My shadow is all you know
I'm here but it doesn't show

Let me go
Heal the cracks in my broken bones
My shadow is all you know
I'm here but it doesn't show
You only feel my ghost
You only feel my ghost


5. ME AGAINST MYSELF

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself?
And everybody else
Cause I can't fix this on my own
And I don't wanna do it alone

Had a talk with myself
Try to smile and wish me well
Feel like I'm a broken shell
Hard to lie when you're overwhelmed
It still hurts when you're numb
Every walk becomes a run
It's gettin' hard to hold on
When you come undone cause

Lately everything around keeps changing
I been thinking that maybe
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe we're both the same

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself?
And everybody else
Cause I can't fix this on my own
And I don't wanna do it alone

Alone
Alone
No I don't wanna do it alone
Alone
Alone

It's hard to look back
When you have to face the facts
That the person that I was
Isn't coming back cause

Lately everything around keeps changing
I been thinking that maybe
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe we're both the same

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself?
And everybody else
Cause I can't fix this on my own
And I don't wanna do it alone

Alone
Alone
No I don't wanna do it alone
Alone
Alone

Lately everything around keeps changing
I been thinking that maybe
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe we're both the same

Lately everything around keeps changing
I been thinking that maybe
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe we're both the same
(Maybe we're both the same)

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
(I feel like someone else)

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself?
And everybody else
Cause I can't fix this on my own
And I don't wanna do it alone

Alone
Alone
No I don't wanna do it alone
Alone
Alone

Alone
Alone
(Had a talk with myself)
(Try to smile and wish me well)
Alone
Alone
(Feel like I'm a broken shell)
(Hard to lie when you're overwhelmed)


6. HURT

Does it ever go away?
Or will I always feel this way?
Feels like I'm cursed by this burn
And it all adds up to hurt

Is it written on my grave?
Or a cycle I can't break?
Do we all just wait our turn?
'Cause it all just feels like

Hurt
I can never seem to find the right words
I guess that's still the way the world turns
You break me, forsake me
And show me everything that I can never be

It still hurts
It feels like everything just gets worse
But I can't be the only one at ends
With this to live until I've learned
It all adds up to... (Hurt)

Does it know me by my name?
Or will it haunt us all the same?
It always comes in waves
'Cause nothing good can stay

It still hurts
I can never seem to find the right words
I guess that's still the way the world turns
You break me, forsake me
And show me everything that I can never be

It still hurts
It feels like everything just gets worse
But I can't be the only one at ends
With this to live until I've learned
It all adds up to hurt

Does it ever go away?
Does it ever go away?

Hurt
I can never seem to find the right words
I guess that's still the way the world turns
You break me, forsake me
And show me everything that I can never be

It still hurts
It feels like everything just gets worse
But I can't be the only one at ends
With this to live until I've learned
It all adds up to hurt

It all adds up to


7. LOW

Don't keep on telling me that I'm gonna pull through
When you don't know low like I do

I'm afraid of the things I don't say
The thoughts in my head that keep me tossing, turning, lying awake
Don't keep on telling me that I'm gonna pull through
When you don't know low like I do

I've been running away again
I've been running away again

I've been running away again
Chasing after all the battles I can never win
I don't think that I can take much more it
It feels like I've lost it all (Lost it all)
Who will save me when I can't save myself?

Hard to think we were born to live this way
Burning bridges, ripping stitches out to drown the pain
Bleed me out, run me dry, watch the hammer fall
Let the river run and bury me beneath it all

Bury me
Bury me beneath it all

I've been running away again
Chasing after all the battles I can never win
I don't think that I can take much more it
It feels like I've lost it all (Lost it all)
Who will save me when I can't save myself?

Searching for answers
A cure for this cancer
It's all in my head
I'm one step from the edge

I've been running away again
Chasing after all the battles I can never win
I don't think that I can take much more it
It feels like I've lost it all
I've been running away again
Chasing after all the battles I can never win
I don't think that I can take much more it
It feels like I've lost it all (Lost it all)
Who will save me when I can't save myself?
(Save myself)
Who will save me when I can't save myself?

Who will save me when I can't save myself?


8. THE LINE

Where do we draw the line?

Closed in, learning how to cope with
The fear of knowing
That we're afraid to change

Roped in, fraying like a loose end
And still we pretend
That we can bear the weight

We're perfect on the outside
Broken on the inside
But you don't know
'Cause we don't show
The skeletons that we hide
Misery in our eyes
But you don't know
'Cause we don't show
We're running out of time
Where do we draw the line?

Hold in, never show emotion
Afraid to open
The truth we've locked away
It's a cycle we're repeating
But survival isn't bleeding

We're perfect on the outside
Broken on the inside
But you don't know
'Cause we don't show
The skeletons that we hide
Misery in our eyes
But you don't know
'Cause we don't show
We're running out of time
Where do we draw the line?

We're perfect on the outside
Broken on the inside
But you don't know
'Cause we don't show
The skeletons that we hide
Misery in our eyes
But you don't know
'Cause we don't show

We're perfect on the outside
Broken on the inside
But you don't know
'Cause we don't show
The skeletons that we hide
Misery in our eyes
But you don't know
'Cause we don't show
We're running out of time
It's our fate to decide
We'll draw the line

We'll draw the line


9. FURY

Fury

My scars have shown me who to be
Held me down, pushed around but never buried me
No compromise, no fear of pain
I fight the war when you run the other way

One judgement, no Jury
I am, I am the fury

Break free
You have to face the truth
No peace
When there's a war in you
One judgment, no jury
I am, I am the fury

This is a warning shot
It keeps me honest to God
You could never survive in a world of casualty
Open wounds turned to brick built my legacy

One judgement, no jury
I am, I am the fury

Break free
You have to face the truth
No peace
When there's a war in you
One judgment, no jury
I am, I am the fury

All my enemies hide around me
I am the fury

Break free
You have to face the truth
No peace
When there's a war in you
One judgment, no jury
I am, I am the fury

I am the fury
One judgment
No jury
... Don't ask for mercy

Don't ask for mercy


10. FORGET MY NAME

Try and hold me back but you won't I promise
'Cause I'm not losing sleep over what you say
I will never rest till I fill my coffin
I'll make sure you never forget my name

Try and hold me back but you won't I promise
'Cause I'm not losing sleep over what you say
I will never rest till I fill my coffin
I'll make sure you never forget my name

Cut me down like you always did before
Made up my mind, won't happen anymore

Never forget my name
Never forget my name
'Cause after all you've done
I'll never be the same

Never forget my name
Never forget my name
'Cause after all you've done
I'll never be the same

Try and hold me back but you won't I promise
'Cause I'm not losing sleep over what you say
I will never rest till I fill my coffin
I'll make sure you never forget my name

Try and hold me back but you won't I promise
'Cause I'm not losing sleep over what you say
I will never rest till I fill my coffin
I'll make sure you never forget my name

I'll make sure you never forget my name
I'll make sure you never forget my name

Say what you want
I won't hear a word
You'll come undone
Like the bridge you burned

Never forget my name
Never forget my name
'Cause after all you've done
I'll never be the same

Never forget my name
Never forget my name
'Cause after all you've done
I'll never be the same

Try and hold me back but you won't I promise
'Cause I'm not losing sleep over what you say
I will never rest till I fill my coffin
I'll make sure you never forget my name

Try and hold me back but you won't I promise
'Cause I'm not losing sleep over what you say
I will never rest till I fill my coffin
I'll make sure you never forget my name

The enemy wants me dead
The enemy wants me dead!
But I've got eyes in the back of my head!

I'll make sure you never forget my name

The enemy wants me dead
The enemy wants me dead!
But I've got eyes in the back of my...


11. TAKE THE FIGHT

Is anybody out there? Let me know
Feel like you're over it, had enough?
Are you afraid to wake up, 'cause it shows
Tell me what it takes to break and let go

Is anybody out there? Let me know
Feel like you're over it, had enough?
Are you afraid to wake up, 'cause it shows
I'm not gonna break and bow to no throne
(Break and bow to no throne)

I know, I know that I am not alone
When I'm standing on my own
They can say what they say, say what they say
But it doesn't change

I know, I know that I am not alone
When there's nowhere else to go
They can say what they say, blame who they blame
But they can't take the fight from me

Take the fight
Can't take the fight from me
Take the fight

I'm not gonna stand down, be afraid
Living like I'm one foot in the grave
I refuse to let you do the same
Tell me what it takes to break your own chains

I see PAIN I see RAGE
See the change that you want written on your face
I see PAIN I see RAGE
See the world as a place where we're all the same

I know, I know that I am not alone
When I'm standing on my own
They can say what they say, say what they say
But it doesn't change

'Cause I know, I know that I am not alone
When there's nowhere else to go
They can say what they say, blame who they blame
But they can't take the fight from me

(Can't take the fight from me)
(Can't take the fight from me)

I see PAIN I see RAGE
See the change that you want written on your face
I see PAIN I see RAGE
See the world as a place where we're all the same

I know, I know that I am not alone
When I'm standing on my own
They can say what they say, say what they say
But it doesn't change

I know, I know that I am not alone
When there's nowhere else to go
They can say what they say, blame who they blame
But they can't take the fight from me

Take the fight
Can't take the fight from me


12. WILL WE EVER LEARN

Face-to-face but never eye-to-eye
All this vision but we're going blind
Always running, we can never hide
From all the emptiness we feel inside

We let emotion get away from us
But feeling nothing could be dangerous
Fighting wars just to settle bitter blood
Built to fall just like the setting sun

Death walks among us
His sword hangs above us
We want to be loved but
Love doesn't want us

We hate what we don't know
Refusing to let go
We let it burn, we let it burn
Oh, will we ever learn?

There's a prison we can never see
We've built the walls that keep us out of reach
If we could see the problem starts with "Me"
(We'd see a world we thought could never be)

Death walks among us
His sword hangs above us
We want to be loved but
Love doesn't want us

We hate what we don't know
Refusing to let go
We let it burn, we let it burn
Oh, will we ever learn?

Can you see it now?
Do you feel it now?
Can you see it now?
Do you feel it now?

Do you feel it now?
Will we ever learn?

Death walks among us
His sword hangs above us
We want to be loved but
Love doesn't want us

We hate what we don't know
Refusing to let go
We let it burn, we let it burn
Oh, will we ever learn?
