There’s a thought inside my head
Always grinding up against
What I know and what I’m told is sanity
It seeps from my skull
All through my blood and in my bones
It’s got a grip and won’t let go
And now it grows inside of me
It takes exactly what I need
I have no choice in its direction
I’ve lost my hands and now my voice
It’s taken both without remorse
No second thought and not a question
Now I know just what I am
I’m a tool in someone’s hands
Used as something that I thought I’d never be
I see we’re the same
It’s part of me and I’m to blame
I know I’ll never get away

You’ve taken your power to choose
You’re left with no choice
And I can’t save you
If fighting is all that you want
Then fight for a cause
Not just cause you’re told
You need
Something to complete the story
Struggle to bring meaning to your life
I know
You’re never going to break the cycle
Swallowed by the choices that you’ve made
No peace
There’s no relief
You’ll wait
Impatiently
You feel
Your demands require answers
Coming from somewhere outside your head
If this
Is all the life you’ve ever dreamed
Make your delusions fully void of me

Head set in my hands
Im staring at the floor and hoping
I won't have to speak
Or watch them bury you
Line drawn in the sand
And footsteps leading to the door
I'm running out of ways
And there's nothing I can do
Counting on each day to end in night
Feel the distance growing in our lives
And I know
Everything's gone wrong and it's too late
Im watching you drown
Ill drop the anchor
Let the ship sink
This ends now
I wish I had a choice
Another chance
But times run out
You got so lost and now you're gone
I've left you behind
Ruined all you had
And walked around like someone owes you
Broken and upset
But I don't owe you shit
Keep your fingers crossed
You promise that you'll find your way and
Learn to stand alone
At least that's what I hope
Counting on each day to end in night
Feel the distance growing in our lives
And I know
Everything's gone wrong and it's too late
Im watching you drown
Ill drop the anchor
Let the ship sink
This ends now
I wish I had a choice
Another chance
But times run out
You got so lost and now you're gone
I've left you behind
I know where I stand
As someone who had best intentions
Carrying your doubt
You're burying yourself
I'm not bitter now
I've done my best and now it's over
I had to get out
If only I could help
I'll drop the anchor
Let this ship sink
This ends now
I wish I had a choice
Another chance
But times run out
You got so lost and now you're gone
I've left you behind

Denying any truth that doesn’t sit with you
Won’t bring you
Bring you any hope there isn’t any hope
To pray for
You’re so serious like you’re part of this
Solution
Cutting out the sick, you’re just part of it
I understand
There’s more to this
Than what the surface shows and it’s
Something that’s come from the inside
Your crooked spine
Won’t carry you
Not far enough away from truth
There’s no one found as low as you
Swallowing you’re pride was impossible
In your eyes
Wouldn’t sacrifice not to save your life
You carried
Nothing but your weight fighting to escape
From your life
But you dug your grave and now you have to lay
Lay in it
I understand
There’s more to this
Than what the surface shows and it’s
Something that’s come from the inside
Your crooked spine
Won’t carry you
Not far enough away from truth
There’s no one found as low as you

You wouldn’t know just what it means
To question things that you believe
You’d rather hang on others words
And now you feel you’re wanting out
But you can’t separate yourself
From who you are and who you think that you should be
You don’t think there’s anything
Lying in between
What you’re told and what you see
And there’s no answers here
Cause if you don’t know what it is
Separating you from them
You’ve just learned it’s something wrong
You’re just sick inside your head
For wanting something else
You need to find your place in this
Make something of yourself
Find an order in your life
Make everything all right
Your placement shouldn’t be outside
Our pre-existing lines

Something spills from inside
That’s kept me confined
Holding the outside back from flooding in
And my spite starts to flow
If I’m left alone
Out of my chest it’s carved out a home
Enemies on both sides
Of battle lines
Salting the earth and they’re closing in
Coming in close
Smother and choke
Blurring me eyes I’m lost in the smoke

Rising up to take your place
Never meant that much to me
I'll just remind myself to stand
I'll place my feet where yours would be
I know that you'd never remember
But I'm the first of us to say
If I had a choice then you would stay
Although I know that you aren't dead
Sometimes it stills feels that way
And its so hard to walk away
I see the dirt under my nails
Remember how that used to feel
Remember how it used to feel
I never knew how much was left
With time our luck was bound to give
I never thought it'd be like this
Behind the glass and through our fists
We'd end up broken beat and scarred
But never on our own accord
It's never come to this before
And though I know that you aren't dead
Sometimes I wish it'd end that way
Cause its so hard to turn away
I missed the mark when I placed trust
I lost my faith in one of us
