Realize that I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me

Tell me why am I to blame on me
Are we supposed to be the same, that's why
I will never change this thing that's burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell
If I got something that remains
That's why I just hang in grief
Or this I just let me be

Tell me why am I to blame on me
Are we supposed to be the same, that's why
I will never change this thing that's burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Betrayed
I feel so insane
I really tried
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time

I did my time
I did my time

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Oh god the anger changing me
Oh god the anger changing me
