Pre-production of our 2nd single from our upcoming album "Brighter Days."

lyrics

Slowly losing all of my virtues
Nothing's left
What the hell is there to lose?
Life is full of all the decisions that you choose
To make
Or Break
All of the risks you have to take
And now I'm stuck with all of my mistakes
Past
And present
Just boiling in my brain
In my bones
My blood
Nothing left, but giving up

And you expect the world of me
But you're the only one holding me back
From everything that I could be
You blind me from the world
That I need to see

I'm alive
For the first time
I'm revived
I can see the light
Taking me back to square one (I can't take this no more)
So I can see you are the scum (I can can see that you're holding me back all this time)
Holding me back all this time (This life wasted with no real reason or rhyme)
No real reason or rhyme
Now I won't let you control my life
It's mine, it's mine
I stepped back from the knife
You held to me
All this time
Get out, get out
I'm taking back what's mine

And you expect the world of me
But you're the only one holding me back
From everything that I could be
You blind me from the world
That I need to see

I was always one to live for others
Never really had any drive to actually live
Always putting myself on the back-burner
Just to put a smile on the faces of the ones who always seem to bring me down to my lowest point
But not this time
No more repeats of the past

No more
Empty promises that you won't keep
Broken families that you create
All of the calamities you proclamate
All the commodaties you reinstate
They leave me destroyed
In a fragile state
That you create
Yeah, you create
