Edging away from the precipice Shaking off shackles that connect me to the past Reaching out for hands that brush my fingers Lacking the momentum to escape Why was it so hard To deviate from this destructive behaviour? Humbled by the empathy of others Patience, so much greater than mine Avoiding the crux of the problem Blinded by my fear of the unknown Desperate to get back to the trail I keep on grinning Keep on grinning Keep on grinning I've come too far to fail I move ahead and Keep on grinning Keep on grinning Something's got to give I've reached the bottom Of the barrel I'll keep my head and It might be time to leave you Emotional but open to reason Unable to change this on my own Incapable and all out of energy Yes, I'm sceptical But to doubt is my nature I'm over the worst of This torrid experience Worn out and resigned Open to your influence Guide me to the exit Be my salvation It's far from over It's far from over I won't lose control Must have control Will take control Won't stop and I won't lose control Must have control Will take control Won't stop and I won't lose control Must have control Will take control Won't stop and I won't lose control Must have control Will take control Won't stop and I won't lose control Must have control Will take control Will take it all Change is on the horizon Change is on the horizon I'll take it back

Often times my insecurity is mistaken for humility and I don't know if I should stay if I can't make a sound. I don't want to believe that everything you say will hold me down like bricks tied to my feet. Bricks tied to my... Why do you always say the same thing?

I saw you take flight, With the wind beneath your wings You left me behind, Now you're off to better things I'm easy to dismiss I just want to be missed and Any way I look at this I'm never gonna turn it around I saw you take flight, With the wind beneath your wings You left me behind, Pulled the rug right out from under me You're all just bodies Taking place of what was left behind You're all just bodies I'm easy to dismiss I just want to be missed and Any way I look at this I'm never gonna turn it around

Rest assured, I will let you down And don't you dare feel bad for leaving I wouldn't stick around for me And I know that's no way to think That's just who I am I can't think of a metaphor To describe the kind of person I am I traded in for clarity That's just how it had to be You know that I am yours If you choose to believe in me And don't you dare feel bad for leaving I wouldn't stick around for me And I know that's no way to think That's just who I am I can't think of a metaphor To describe the kind of person I am I traded in for clarity That's just how it had to be You know that I can't think of a metaphor (rest assured I will let you down) To describe the kind of person I am I traded in for clarity (and don't you dare feel bad) That's just how it had to be (for leaving) You know that (I wouldn't stick around for me and I know that's no way to think) I can't think of a metaphor (rest assured I will let you down) To describe the kind of person I am I traded in for clarity (and don't you dare feel bad) That's just how it had to be (for leaving) You know that (I wouldn't stick around for me and I know that's no way to think)

I have a life outside my mind But I am trapped inside Remembering nothing, wanting for no one So damn hollow I have a life outside my mind But I am trapped inside So damn hollow

How many days will I wake up with no recollection of how I got here? Another fight to keep my head above water. Above water... Is it true this cure is really my disease? Give me just one more, maybe we will see. How many days will I wake up drowning? And will I ever find a way to lead myself to change?
