he used to lie awake counting breaths each one he used was one less left deep in his chest the hope was gone of him getting out or him moving on a hopeless song stirred in his head months at a time but he couldn't lie he couldn't time and he couldn't rhyme or express himself to save his life
he'd put his favorite records on innerparty and linkin park he'd close his eyes and he'd sing along but he'd never make it on his own it's not the time and it's not the place to have to eat your words cause it's not the fall and it's not the fail it's what you do right afterwords
and at these words i hope you rise dig in deep and then choose a side grab the mic and you'll shock them all with your steady hands and wild eyes wild fires deep inside torch them all and leave none alive if some survive then tell your friends a broken watch a bad time. so here's my match lets burn them all before the fall of man it's time to stand or stand for nothing at all
i hope you bury this deep in your mind it carries on (it's not like it was before) it never dies (so tell me now, what do you stand for?) before the scars and the secrets you hide i'll burn them all (it's not like it was) your ghosts inside (so tell me now, what do you stand for?)
not long ago the darkest place shadows live and light escapes empty hands and hollow eyes that never give and only take one mistake you'll come to see is how you doubted thoughtlessly is how you only recognize the person that i used to be
so here's my match let's burn it up take everything you can before you fly you know you gotta learn to stand
and i've been there before their torches in hand i'll steady my feet and learn how to stand and i'll burn alive but you'll know who i am vk.com/silatela
