Nothing Left to Lose

Cassandra, you're angry, I get it Believe me I know what it's like But you are making a mistake The path of hate is a dangerous track You take one step and it's hard to turn back It pulls you along And though it seems wrong it feels right Don't you see this path you're on leaves a permanent mark It feels good at first, then it slowly turns dark With each passing day You're further astray from the light Suddenly, you lose your way and lose the thread Lose your cool, then lose your head Every loss is harder to excuse Then you'll see you'll lose your faith and lose your soul 'Til you lose complete control And realize there's nothing left to lose Nothing left to lose Cass, trust me Becoming the villain isn't the answer Is that what you think I am? The path I'm on is a path paved in black I'm taking that road and I'm not looking back Each twist and each turn Leads straight where I'm yearning to go Yes, it's true, my path is dark but I see where it ends My rivals will fall as my power ascends Despise me, that's fine I'm taking what's mine even so Not like you You lost your nerve, you lost the game But you and I, we're not the same I'm not lost, this fate was mine to choose So I chose to lose my doubts and lose my chains Lose each weakness that remains Now that I have nothing left to lose Nothing left to lose You have so much to hold onto I only want my rightful dues Listen please, you've lost your grip And lost your mind (I'm not gonna lose) All's not lost, don't be so blind (I refuse) Cut your losses, drop the IOUs (I refuse) Oh-oh, choose I lose no tears and lose no sleep What I want I'll take and keep (It's time for you to choose) You can't stop the turning on the screws You'll stay in that cage until this is done And just in case you think of escaping Now I have nothing left to lose
