I finally opened up the message from a year ago

I made a habit out of hiding from the things I don't know

I swear I wanted to change, I thought about it every day

When the lights go out, do we fall asleep, or do we recover?

From all the retribution I don't want to remember.

See, I've met some people that are cold as December

Intention's the mask that they wear to hide the disaster

Don't run

I sit in the wreck for fun, used up all of my chances

Topple over, got in my own way

We're from a world where everybody gets the last word

And we all fall apart in the dark

So, I better get it right, but I don't know why you need me to

To be the first in line to tame your mind, but I can't save you

Instead, we're chasing survival

When we're better off searching in places we found something worth fighting for

'Cause everything that they needed was vital to me

Break all my walls down, call that demolition

Well, here we go again

I'm prepared to admit that I'm scared

That my stress will remain, and all my visions will follow

With open eyes I find that I'm out of time, no, that's the struggle

My issue isn't telling the truth

I'm just sick of being lied to like I'm nothing to any one of you

You say that I'm not there, got nothing left to prove

Never changing? No, you're just deciding not to

We're from a world where everybody gets the last word

And we all fall apart in the dark

So, I better get it right, but I don't know why you need me to

To be the first in line to tame your mind, but I can't save you

Why are people always seeking forgiveness?

When they'd rather tear you down and hope you can feel it?

Back to the wall with my arms open, keep that knife away from me

Familiar faces turn to memories chasing me

We're from a world where everybody gets the last word

And we all fall apart in the dark

So, I better get it right, but I don't know why you need me to

To be the first in line to tame your mind, but I can't save you
