Trade Lives With Another (ft. Blacklight)

[Intro] If I could trade lives, with another Would I want to If by taking, someone else's life It would save mine Would... I... Do it.... [Verse 1] Judging me, by each breath I breathe As if it were concrete, verdict neat and tight But your scales, only shift in 1 direction A constant misdirection, whatever favors you And I'm tired of, lies People just put on me to lead me on Wasted so much, time Seeking acceptance Maybe it's too late To make amends with my state I put myself in... Put my... Self in... [Chorus] If I could trade lives With another, would I want to If by taking, someone else's life It would save mine, would I do it And I turn the page Away from everything That led me to you, this fate It's like I'm ticking down the time To an hour glass that was never mine But still push on Yeah still push on... Not knowing my fate... I tell myself... It'll be ok [Blacklight - Verse 2] Watching stars, I am reminded of what life could be As if it were all mine to reach, daring me to take flight But my wings are bound by your words and my conviction As honest vows once sworn erode into webs of venom And I mourn what could've been When those I gave all of me to wore kind masks With that time, I... Could have met someone else Maybe time is still mine To reclaim the parts that are still me Be true to myself... Be true... To myself... [Chorus] If I could trade lives With another, would I want to If by taking, someone else's life It would save mine, would I do it And I turn the page Away from everything That led me to you, this fate It's like I'm ticking down the time To an hour glass that was never mine But still push on Yeah still push on... Not knowing my fate... I tell myself... It'll be ok [Outro] So why... Choose an easy escape... From what made me who I am today (My life) My... Life
