Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never thought this could be me
I guess you never do
Until it's happening to you
Like all the fun turns into shame
And all the could have beens
Rearrange
[Verse 2]
So little time, so many crimes
Guilt like a chain, chokes my will away
Redemption never seemed so cruel
And all my gods, never seemed so weak
[Verse 3]
Wake up, engage
Now derailed and enraged
It used to be so easy
Get up, I'm game
Now I'm sick and I'm tame
Counting cost with lost
[Verse 4]
Where is, the hope, they gave?
And don't think, that I, can't hear you laugh
I used to be, a lot like you
But now I'm only me
I used to be, a lot like you
But now I'm only me, I'm only me
[Verse 5]
(Drinks to pills to shots)
(Fun turns into shock)
(A habit and a pawn)
(For every hand goes round)
(The pain gets so damn loud)
(The hammer hits) and I'm down
And I'm down, and I'm down, and I'm down
[Verse 6]
Trust no one, hey, why should I
They gave me the poison dressed like life
Cheated, smacked up and diseased
Cry to sleep and fight to eat
[Verse 7]
Used to be a pro at this
Now I've broken my own wrist
Rotten teeth and life unsung
You'll forget me when I'm gone
[Verse 8]
Wake up, engage
Now derailed and enraged
It used to be so easy
Get up, I'm game
Now I'm sick and I'm tame
Counting cost with lost
[Verse 9]
I used to be, a lot like you
But now I'm only me
I used to be, a lot like you
But now I'm only me, I'm only me
