It's just the way it starts

The way it feels

Submissioned while trying to find the lead

One thing to another

The way it goes

The plans you were making are turning cold

One by one, they set your fall

So distinguished yet having to go through it all

Forged into something that wasn't meant...

To be in the shadow of make believe!



Round.. two...

You're trying to make me

Bound.. to...

The circle within me



[Chorus:]

I gave it away

And now I am so tired

There's nothing more left to fight

I'll be learning to change

(Two lives worth of reckoning)

It hurts to be blind

And how I've been fading lights

I've been crawling to pick my side

And it left me deranged

(From the reckoning)



It's just the way I need

To plant that seed

Won't settle for nothing

Won't settle with greed

All I'm asking for

Is to reach the point

Where I won't dwell

On resentful times



Round.. two...

You're trying to make me

Bound.. to...

The circle within me



Oh... Right!



[Chorus]



(When I see that graceful day)

The hours remain

From the scar to the threshold

(It will be the greatest slay)

The forced mind will turn

Won't stick or burn

(I'm holding on, it goes deep within)

Releasing the guilt

Please encourage my will

(It will be the sweetest release)

The struggle makes free

And the air.. I - WOULD - BREATHE!



[Chorus]
