lyrics

Beginning seemed naïve enough to think
My surroundings and I alike,

But only time could tell
If I exist closer to hell
Than the counterparts around me
(Let them surround me).

Fate had withheld from my eyes
Premonitions of difficult times.

Lock me up good
For though I deserve the chance
I won’t be needing it.
This world wasn’t made for me,
Much like I wasn’t made for it.

Excuse me if I seem to have left
A sour taste in your day.
But I'd be willing to offer up a trade:
My days for yours,
I dare you to try me.

Thinking that I could one day
Live here in peace and go my own way,
Par to the curse, par to the cycle,
I’ll still be right here,
With still a soul to fulfill,

With or without you here.

I’m here to stay.

Many a soul to choose from,
And I’m the lucky one.
Tell me again that I’ll be okay,
To drown out the thought that I can’t run away.

There’s no escaping what I am,
And there’s no getting rid of what I have.

Tell me I’m free again,
To live in a life that I don’t have.
This world could be a friend of mine,
If only this wasn’t so bad.

A burden that remains my own.

Thinking that I could one day
Live here in peace and go my own way,
Par to the curse, par to the cycle,
I’ll still be right here,
With still a soul to fulfill.

And still it hurts me
To know that you’re so worried.

But I’m the lucky one.
