What cause have I to feel glad?
I've built my life on judgment and causing pain
I don't know those eyes I see in the bloodstained chrome
Now everything that I've had
And everything I've known have been thrown away
And with time I've come to find this isn't my home
♪
I've stoked the fire
Seen more pain than you can know
The tears of the broken
Have washed away my soul
Pushed by desire
To change the way my stream will flow
Now I've awoken
And I'm taking back control
♪
I man these wretched machines
Day in, day out, the grinding wears on my brain
Undermining my sanity
Making me question my reality
But life is not as it seems
Should I take a chance at freedom and throw it all down the drain?
I've been imprisoned
Please burn my transgressions away
I've stoked the fire
Seen more pain than you can know
The tears of the broken
Have washed away my soul
Pushed by desire
To change the way my stream will flow
Now I've awoken
And I'm taking back control
I try my best to block out the screams
But they're haunting me in my dreams
Please break my shackles, I want it to stop

And I'm taking back control
I'm sick of hurting
Sick of thinking it's all I do
I break those around me
Those spared are very few
But the bright sun is burning
And my sky shines ever blue
Friendships surround me
I'm becoming a part of you
I try my best to block out the screams
