Beating after beating
Rebound
I've been patient
Patient enough to hold back
Until now
Teaching my feet to leave the ground
Feel the weight lift
Taking off on the right track
Those thoughts have their place at the back of my mind
Stay down
They didn't tell me, I felt it
There were no choices or questions
This body has a mind of its own
Wide-eyed in the dark
While it died in my arms
This life is a lesson to learn
Passed every point of regret
Dancing over my own grave
I held back
Until now
Silence is half the noise in this duet
Asking over and over for it to end
Only kept you alive in my head
Stay down
They didn't tell me, I felt it
There were no choices or questions
This body has a mind of its own
Wide-eyed in the dark
While it died in my arms
This life is a lesson to learn
To be trusting and fuelled by misdirection
To be innocent beyond recognition
So you ask the question
Is this something you chose or something you're forced to invest in?
Something you're forced to invest in
Stay down
They didn't tell me, I felt it
There were no choices or questions
This body has a mind of its own
Wide-eyed in the dark
While it died in my arms
This life is a lesson to learn
They didn't tell me, I felt it
There were no choices or questions
This body has a mind of its own
Wide-eyed in the dark
While it died in my arms
This life is a lesson to learn
Stay down
This body
Has a mind
Of its own
