Time and time the story goes

How quick and easy it can slip away

Survived it all for this long

Is it really worth all the pain?

I keep chasing a dream

Without any thought of what I leave behind

You struggle to keep it together

No compassion or respect is given



I can't get it down right

One way all the time

Out of control 

Too much to lose

All these thoughts implanted



Born to play the part from the start

This tragic cycle continues

I sense your backbone breaking

It's time to take a look at this fuckin' picture

I hold my fate and make the choice

Believe me I know what you're thinking

Less than perfect I know I am

You better believe I'm willing to make the change



I can't get it down right

One way all the time

Out of control

Too much to lose

All the thoughts implanted
