This time I'm taking it away, I've got a problem
When they get it in the way, not by my side
So I'll take my face and bash it into a mirror
I won't have to see the pain

This pain is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

My hurt inside is fading
This shit's gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting
Oh I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything and
Oh I cannot give anymore

My mind's done with this
Okay, I've got a question
Can I throw it all away?
Take back what's mine
So I'll take my time
Driving humbly down the line
Each cut, closer to the vein

This pain is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

The hurt inside is fading
This shit's gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting
Oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything and
Oh I cannot give anymore

I'm here to stay (bring it down)
Bring it down !
Gonna bring it down
Gonna break it down
Gonna break it

This pain is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

My hurt inside is fading
This shit's gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting
Oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything and
Oh I cannot give anymore

Give anymore
