Here's to the last time that I allow myself
To be haunted by the shadows of the past
I'm taking my life back
Taking my life back

A youth spent oppressed
Beaten, battered and always depressed
Let down by those who were supposed to care
The ones who left instead of being there
I feel like I am drowning in a sea of liars and snakes
Surrounded by all the bullshit I can't erase
And I've tried my fucking best
To rise above the hate and break the chains
That bind me to this place
Yet I've realized there's no escape

And I once thought that I had it all figured out
It's ten years later and I'm still so fucking lost
When will I wake up from this never ending nightmare?
'Cause I've been trapped in hell, locked away with all my fears

I'll watch this whole world burn before lie back
And in the end, you'll be left here with nothing
Go take your bullshit elsewhere, I left the past behind
You're on your own

I'll watch this whole world burn
Before I give up
What little progress I have made
On the path to something greater
A promise I intend to keep
These words still hold meaning
And I'll do whatever it takes
To keep myself from drowning

And I'll do whatever it takes
To keep myself from drowning
Sometimes it's hard keeping my head above water
With all this deadweight pulling down on me
I've reached my breaking point
These fractured bones may never heal
I'm losing faith, it's all the same
Every path I choose just leads to pain
Time to shed the mask
I'm taking my life back

And I once thought that I had it all figured out
It's ten years later and I'm still so fucking lost
When will I wake up from this never ending nightmare?
'Cause I've been trapped in hell, locked away with all my fears

I'll watch this whole world burn before I lie back
And in the end, you'll be left here with nothing
Go take your bullshit elsewhere, I left the past behind
You're on your own, you're on your own
(You're on your own)
