(Verse 1) I charge ahead into the fray You retreat another day This labyrinth of our design A tangled, blurry, fading line We navigate this sick ballet Juggling all our debts to pay (Pre-Chorus) We stare through lenses, cracked and thin A hollow space looking out, looking in This dizzy, endless, tired game Has got me whispering your name In anger, not in need (Chorus) So I'm gonna grab a knife and cut the tie I'm gonna look you in your shallow eye And I won't care if you still breathe I only care that I retrieve My own life, my own light, my own law I'm ending this perpetual war All I want is to live (Verse 2) I'm drawing borders on the map Building my own final lap No more dancing in your haze Through these unforgiving days The reflection that you see Will no longer be me (Chorus) So I'm gonna grab a knife and cut the tie I'm gonna look you in your shallow eye And I won't care if you still breathe I only care that I retrieve My own life, my own light, my own law I'm ending this perpetual war All I want is to live (Bridge) This isn't hate, it's self-preservation My own, personal declaration Of a will you cannot break For my own future's sake (Outro) I'm getting my own life… I'm living… I'm breathing… I'm finally… …living. …I'm free.
