lyrics

breaking the mask
I wore to get ahead
I am finally content with myself
but they will never let me rest

Things all fall apart
we stitched this with fabric
you burned from the start
a mindset obtained
to live for now
and question everything

you've broken me
all I know is defeat
but i will always try to prove myself
To a world that spit on my dreams
to a worls that wont question a fucking thing.

I have grown bitter
countless nights I've spent
trapped inside my head
you have to learned your place
I found solace keeping
friends with the ground


Things all fall apart
we stitched this with fabric
you burned from the start
a mindset obtained
to live for now
questioning
everything


open your fucking mind. Appreciate yourself
and other people for who they truly are
not what consumes them i fucking pray this gets through to you.

Don’t live a life you didn't choose.

Only you know the truth

Don't Live a lie you didn't choose

you've broken me
all I know is defeat
but i will always try to prove myself
To a world that will spit on my dreams
to a world that wont question a fucking thing.
So tell your vultures
that you're not dead yet
cause we never had to wait this long
why would you choose to wait too long

no stranger to frowns
im a slave to this town
crushed up these pills thinking
“just keep your head down”
I've tried so many times but I'm sick
take this life from me
I'm fed up from all this shit

Everyone has a story they leave
that fades into the past
why should you be who they want you to be?
If its no t going to last?

(Jaded and Weak)
The vultures will
tear out our throats
(don’t lose your voice)
Im sick of their judgement
for the only truth I've ever known
when will it end?
when will it end? When will it end?
My patience running thin
So don't think that i’ll play your games
my heart will stay true
to what it has fought to maintain.


you've broken me
all I know is defeat
but i will always try to prove myself
To a world that will spit on my dreams
to a world that wont question a fucking thing.
So tell your vultures
That you're not dead yet
we never had to wait this long
