I loath the fight but the fight loves me Beautiful blisters the bark of this tree. A punch in a kiss my life's on one knee Under this skin's hardened harmony.
I would rather kiss the brink and smile Using the best of my worst mile Than lie in cold arms forever thinking, "Could I have flown through this?"
I make myself -- I break myself Take some time unwrap this life And recreate myself. I make myself -- I break myself Take some time unwrap this life I create myself.
Worn rubber hard ground, Damaged skin life bound. Dead fingers fumbling found The next chance not to come around.
I waste my own time This mind is doing fine I won't sell Unmade memories.
I make myself -- I break myself Take some time unwrap this life And rewrite myself. I make myself -- I break myself Take some time unwrap this life I create myself.
There are no clean skins here These words were born old. I'll cast them out in tears Then destroy the mould. A shadow's kicking inside, I'll starve it before it holds my heart. Light up this mechanism, this blood machine.
I make myself -- I break myself Take some time unwrap this life And recreate myself. I make myself -- I break myself Take some time unwrap this life I create myself.
I blew of both wings with one shot Stapled my mouth I didn't drop. I ripped up my pride I still flew, I am me through and through.
And I'll smile through all this pain because it's all so beautiful.
