lyrics

So long these wasteful years of pain and sorrow in my gut
To all the ones who want a comeback, come and get some fun
My burning passion comes from inside of this rotting door
And I for one must count the days I spent here lying on this floor

These masochists can't get ahold of me while in this cage
I bit my teeth down, buried every single doubt I made
These crazy bombings in my heart mean nothing to my fears
So as I stare down there, my dissatisfaction can rise to here

Woah oh, this is exactly where I want to be
Woah oh oh, this is exactly where I need to be

This suffering pressure got me tied up in a tight knot
These people talk to me and think that I just own the lot
My therapist hates how I envisioned her in one of my songs
And even though you're right, I'll kill all your dreams to convince you you're wrong

And it all falls down
But it all adds up

I'll keep on running ‘til the secret's gone with what I found
I'm shunned by everyone I've trusted, who just stole my crown?
With closed fists and battle antics, my winning streaks grow from the wars I fought
I'll stand my grounds right here, what the hell did you expect from me?
