The way I walk the path am I supposed to expect
That my last breath will bring true life and not death
And yet… I fill myself with hate and regret
Taking the devil for a friend because he’ll write me a cheque
No you’re not you’re deeper in debt
And the hole your sitting in is just as dark as it gets
Somehow you thought your soul was worth the measly price of what’s left
How do you know you’ve passed the grade unless you’ve finished the test?
We never see ourselves watch the days go by
We’re too busy just swimming in our lives
Keep in mind that I’ve seen it through your eyes
And I’d rather see through mine
And we had all the chances
And we gambled the masses
Can’t you see it went just as fast as it came
Now we’re comfortably crashing
How come people never hear what they say?
Don’t want to look ahead staring at today
Think you can take the past, control it with your games
Soon enough you’ll see that the end it doesn’t play
And if you don’t like me you can do what you want to do
You say it to spite me but I’ll take the side of truth
You can’t just go around talking how they want you to
But you do, and you’re taking this plane down / all us with you
I’m seeing visions of these prisons not constructed with bars
Erasing God from out your mind and then they shackle your heart
And from the start they were giving you your pattern of thought
When to cry and when to stand and applaud
And it’s hard to see what’s dear to me so deeply involved
I give you light but then you fight with me to stay in the dark
And all this stress sometimes I question even why do I start
But I’ll be there for you and I don’t care if you like me or not so please listen…
All these times I reach the end I wonder why do I start
But I’ll be there for you don’t care if you like me or not just please listen
That my last breath will bring true life and not death
And yet… I fill myself with hate and regret
Taking the devil for a friend because he’ll write me a cheque
