The Give and Take

Face to face with the bad; with the good
I will rest in peace forever misunderstood
Forever misunderstood, this is the give and take
No place to dream in a world that never falls asleep

Another rat in a cage
Empty words fill every page
A never-ending race to finish lines I can't achieve
In this weightless state I've become so empty

The damage is already done, but the worst is yet to be seen
No wishful thinking, a slate that can't be wiped clean

Here and now is all we know
Until we're forced to let go, I'd give it up to find a new home
A place that I can call my own
Damned if I do damned if I don't

An infinite climb
We're told to walk along a thin line
Can't fall out of place, I'll speak my mind
I won't go quietly into the dark abyss that waits for me

There is no way of life
Worthy of this motherfucking sacrifice
There is no way of life
Worthy of this sacrifice

We all expire, time waits for no one
We will burn under the same sun
Stained black every broken soul that's left
We all expire before we exist

The damage is already done, but the worst is yet to be seen
No wishful thinking, a slate that can't be wiped clean

Here and now is all we know
Until we're forced to let go, I'd give it up to find a new home
A place that I can call my own
Damned if I do damned if I don't
Here and now is all we know
Until we're forced to let go, I'd give it up to find a new home
A place that I can call my own
Damned if I do damned if I don't

The damage is done
