They took my voice Erased my past With all that noise It couldn't last With words so cruel I washed my face Hoped one day I'd wake up in a better place Today I took back what was stolen And gave new life to what was frozen One mouth talking A dead man walking A thousand faces watched me falling I've made my peace with what may happen Accepted I won't be in fashion Oh you gave, I got it Yeh you gave, I got it all back Since I saw you last When brothers land And take what's good You can win a war Oh, and shed no blood Everybody plays their part Oh we let the haters hate While everybody's losing heart Lying in the longest grass I sit and wait Today I took back what was stolen And gave new life to what was frozen One mouth talking A dead man walking A thousand faces watched me falling I've made my peace with what may happen Accepted I won't be in fashion Oh you gave, I got it Yeh you gave, I got it all back Since I saw you last I know you heard My shout for help For those who stood and watched Go f*** yourself I know you heard my cry for help I know you heard I was going through hell I know you heard I was losing my mind I know you heard it was a matter of time I know you heard...
