This is not a story
This is not a play by play
It's not a dramatization
(JUST SOMETHING I HAVE TO)
Something I have to say
Why'd I dig my own grave?
Why'd you just watch me stray?
(WATCH ME STRAY RIGHT OFF THE)
Off the plank, off the pier
Knees weak from shallow fears
Knee deep in all my fears
(BUT I CANNOT LOSE MY)
Lose myself inside this place
Lose myself in anyway
I'm my worst enemy
(MY OWN WORST ENEMY)
Pull me from my mind
Raise up, just don't leave me behind
This town has got it's ways
Of trying to make you stay
It won't have you get away
NO
It's not hard to see the curse of this place
You stay and decay
Gotta slip away
Move on to a better place
Just leave without a trace
Once it's in your blood the disease will remain
You can fight temptation
Only the strong escape
All the time I have lost my thoughts betray me
But I'll keep the scars because they remind me
The best is yet to come
For some hope has died so long ago
Now the sands of time wash them away
I can't believe this is where I'm from
Now is my time
I'm about to let loose on this place
Run all you want no one is safe
I lived in the shadows but now I wake
The life that we lives breathes insanity
