My back so full of scrapes   With the miles I've walked of waste   Fade and fall away against   Numb my hunger to taste      What's the basis for change   Excuses to feed my ego's rage   Cling to my comfort to clench   Content with my sadistic wrench      Find every reason not to kill   The half way beast that steals my only peace   And don't expect it to rest till it's home   Is a naturalistic nest      My back so full of scrapes   (With another wound)   And the miles I've walked of waste   (With another scar)   Fade and fall away against   (With another scratch)   Numb my hunger to taste      But there is no coincidence   And there is no compromise      Rise      Close my grip on the floodgates   And lean on the back of the covenant   Sealed in dreams   Anticipate the backlash      Uncountable grins fade to screams   Doubts an ocean away on a sea   That my last mistake drowned unwillingly   And I don't have the trust to float inside   The waves that seek to spill me      Rise      Unrealistic ideals   Promises I can't keep   I don't have those luxuries   And I don't have the time you do to sleep      And now it starts   And now it begins   I've waited too long for this   For your fear to interfere again      So now my vision's secured
