I'm only bleeding, and not defeated
I'll mend my heart and mend my hands and break this curse
face down in dirt:
I've been here before and might be back again
but we only fall to learn to stand tall
I'm only bleeding, and not defeated
these dying days are just a phase and nothing more
just void waiting to be filled with
something new to remember
cuts, wounds and bruises:
my vital signs
as long as I bleed
I'm still alive
feeling sorry for me?
well you are wrong
these days will only make me strong

I've been let down
I've been torn up
and left for dead
I've been forgotten
and had my heart
ripped from my chest
all I had was time
time was my best friend
so I fed the rust that'd dissolve
the chains holding me back
I've been learning
how to not never look back
I've been singing along
with the sound of breaking glass
I won't stay here the world is waiting!
i've been stranded here for too long
now it's time to cut the anchor loose
no more waiting, the tide is rising high
now it's time to cut the anchor loose

let it go...
life's always in motion, the pistons never stop
you'll get grinded to shreds if you'll ever get stuck
you've got to roll with the punch
and got to keep moving to outrun bad luck
I was never a smart kid: I tend to dwell on the past
and to get obsessed with my mistakes
I embrace the awe but it hurts so bad
you've got to roll with the punch
and got to keep moving to outrun bad luck
it seems we live on quicksand
try to build on liquid ground
and so suprised when it all comes crashing down
if it's trust you seek, why not trust yourself?
it's such a drag to wait for anyone else
and if it's wisdom that you're looking for:
it's not holding on, it's letting go

I've always wanted something more
I've always wanted to touch the sun
and feel the sky under my feet
but as I'm about to let go of crippling safety
fear takes a hold over me and I'm stuck
I've always wanted something more
I've always wanted to find the door that leads out of here
or die trying
but fear takes a hold over me time and time again
this vicious circle must break
No more fucking holding back
I'm done with playing, now I'm off the track
I'm out to look for better days
and live to find a better way
I know there are dangers too
but hearts break, that's what they do
I know you've heard this all a hundred times
but let's break our hearts
if that's what it takes to be alive

am I a prisoner here anchored down by my fears?
after all that was lost and all the battles I won
am I to live on this ruin?
now it’s way past noon this could be my last call
I’m making my own door head against the wall
on these starless nights I dream of nights
when I’ll dream nothing at all

your mouth is like an open wound:
it bleeds forever
your words seem to dim the light of day
you sure have a way to make things seem much harder
please spare me of whatever you got to say
just whining on and on and on
feels like forever
what a fucking waste of precious time
CHEER THE FUCK UP, MAN!
stop bringing everybody down
cheer the fuck up!
you're running out of time
place your faith in hope or embrace defeat
make up your mind
place your faith in hope or embrace defeat
there's no middle ground
place your faith in hope

the smell of shit fills up the air
apathy and defeat everywhere
I hate this place, don't want to be here
can't wait for the sky to fall
I can't wait FOR THE FALL
and just when you tought you've seen it all
each fuck-up's worse than the one before
and we still find a way to ignore it all
can't wait for the sky to fall

I'm counting days with a heavy heart (I'm on a rough patch)
don't even ask, I wouldn't know where to start
I had so many smart things to say
but just like me, the words... the words got lost in the fray
feels like I was left here in the dark (I'm on a rough patch)
and I want to leave but the engines just won't start
the noise still echoes through my veins
and though my chains been broken sometimes I still feel chained
I feel chained to old memories, ghosts of the past
nothing ever begins, nothing ever ends
but MY TIME WILL COME AGAIN

I can't find my place
can't find my piece of mind
crawling deep down my trench
fighting this war inside
don't promise me "forever"
I can't see past today
help me build this ladder
so I can find my way
out of here
it has been worse but it's still far from being great
will you have my back? I could use a break
I sure could use a peaceful day
help me build this ladder
and show me the way
I shrink inside this void
while the void grows inside me
and I'm stuck inbetween

this is my stress control:
a way for me to survive
all the shit that's raining down
and all the shit that surrounds
and yeah, there's quite some shit around
feels like I'm choking
I need to let it all out
before my mind breaks down
this is my stress control
this is how I survive
THIS IS HOW WE ALL SURVIVE

ringing phones, ticking clocks
wires in thick walls
modern chains for modern times
getting lost in cubicles
oceans drift, planets turn
but you won't even know
we spend our time 'till we're spent
and die alone in the end
it's so hard to comprehend
our insignificance
you break your back, not talking back
serving other's needs
die each day then go to bed
wake up and repeat
you hit deadends to meet deadlines
and to make ends meet
slowly burning out
ALL WE WANT IS A LIFE LESS LIFELESS
All we need is our lifes back in our hands
