every time I wake
I put my life at stake
kept my pain away
locked up in black and gray
stare into the light
with these eyes of white

looking down into the tunnel
to find a life I want so subtle
now, pardon me while I break
to keep this life I have at stake

I wanted to tie the noose up
and hang me by the thread
to numb the pain from the things you've said

my wrist they're acheing
my hands are shaking

this pain I make
puts my life at stake
but here I am
born again
lost among forgotten friends
lost among my place
within this dreadful empty age
