There's a hole in the ground
That i've dug with your grudge
And have been buried in a thousand times
When I cover it up
There's never enough dirt left for me to bury mine
And all the muddied implications
Implemented on this epitaph
Are fading into blurry light
Blind as i'm binding all the hate
That I have left in my heart
Together with the weight that I am leaving behind
There is nothing here to humanize your soul
I would take control
If I could tell you that I
I've got a right to be
Right to be alive
Because I can't slow down
Can't slow down tonight
Tooth and nail against myself
I match my ego with your
Help to cut the rope
And let this hollow image
Sink back down
You sang to close to the sun
Couldn't take the heat
So you let your ambitions freeze
Now you try to take mine from me
Trying to steal my energy
Slipped through the cracks
And now you're falling for hundreds of miles
Failed like you had when I once reached for your number to dial
Can't let you down while you're stuck in the ground
Because i'm above that now
And i'll rise to new heights without you
You who had brought me to dark days
To battle my demons in all the worst ways
I could hold the weight of the world with my name
I could show what I can't say
If I could tell you that I
I've got a right to be
Right to be alive
Because I can't slow down
Can't slow down tonight
Tooth and nail against myself
I match my ego with your
Help to cut the rope
And let this hollow image
Sink back down
You sang too close to the sun
Scuffed up your grief
And pretended to run
You blamed it all on your blood
But the birthrights been bruised
The damage is done
You sang too close to the sun
Sunk to the earth
For the vultures to come take your body
Now the damage is done
Now the damage is done
Who are you to make me choose?
Between the light I hold in my hands
And a toxic little bitch
If I could tell you that I (Tell you that I)
I've got a right to be
Right to be alive (Right to be alive)
Because I can't slow down
Can't slow down tonight
Tooth and nail against myself
I match my ego with your
Help to cut the rope
And let this hollow image
Sink back down
