I would rather live in pain than live in vain
And in this way I don't know if anything will change
But at least I know who I am in this game that we play
Even though sometimes I don't know
If it's even worth trying to get things to stay
But I've spent so long trying to let go
That I just want a change of pace
Cause I used to chase after home
But now I'm afraid of that place
Cause every time I stay I become static and I become afraid
Because sometimes I feel like I'm standing alone
But sometimes I feel like only the low road will lead me home
But I will do whatever it takes to stay away from being another drone
Because the further away I chase my demons away
I feel like it's the chase that brings them so close
And today is today and that's all that will be remembered
When life comes back and breathes into my bones in this cycles of living
Where I feel like all I love is all I lack
And all I have is not my own so I just continue to let go
And this mirror reminds of the worth I kept hidden in alleyways on cold days
And nights of trying to feel alive
Trying to pretend that nothing happens when no one turns on the light
And I know that's not true but I will believe it
When I close my eyes because it's easier than trying to make things right
And I feel that the dark is inside of me shaking my knees
Trying to release this weight that needs to be set free
So release me break my back and let me bleed
I don't want to lose myself but It would be okay if I lost part of me
Because we all just want to be set free
Set me free and watch me bleed
I don't want to lose myself
But it would be okay if I lost part of me
Watch me bleed
I've been holding in this breathe for far too long
And it isn't freedom until it is released
So please release me
So set me free and watch me bleed cause I don't want to lose myself
So set me free and watch me bleed cause I don't want to lose myself
I know what I want we all fight for what we want
Even though it's not always what we need
And we're all in this together we all share the some blood
It's just that some of us are afraid to bleed
So the dark leaps out from us and into our streets
We get so isolated from it becomes a part of all that we can see
And even when we fall asleep we can feel these nightmares infecting our dreams
But when life comes into the darkness
The darkness can't understand what it seems and I would like to think
That the more I grow with you it's the more the darkness can't understand me
I'd like to think that as I grow the darkness can't even see me
