by Ten Miles High [Intro] This is where it begins…The weight of it all…Given to me… [Verse 1] There’s a reason for the pain, carved deep in my veins Out in the rain, where the world feels the same No one to blame, just a shadow in the frame You see… it’s all been arranged You see… I’m bound by the chains [Chorus] Everything I am today, it’s crumbling away It was given to me, like rust on a blade Everything I wanna be, it’s slipping from me It’ll be given to me, a debt I can’t repay Every moment I’ve endured, it’s etched in my core It was given to me, a wound I can’t ignore Every good and bad thing I’ve known, it’s not my own It was given to me, like ash on a throne [Verse 2] There’s a reason for the hurt, it grinds me to dirt Feelin’ like I’m nothing, just a stain on this earth I see it in your face, the reflection of disgrace You see… it’s all been designed You see… I’m trapped in the grind [Chorus] Everything I am today, it’s crumbling away It was given to me, like rust on a blade Everything I wanna be, it’s slipping from me It’ll be given to me, a debt I can’t repay Every moment I’ve endured, it’s etched in my core It was given to me, a wound I can’t ignore Every good and bad thing I’ve known, it’s not my own It was given to me, like ash on a throne [Bridge] I scream into the void, but it echoes my name Every choice I’ve made, it’s part of the game The hands that built me up, they tear me apart A machine of suffering, pumping blood through my heart Given to me… given to me… I’m nothing but a ghost in this endless decree [Verse 3] There’s a reason for the weight, it’s crushing my soul Every step I take, I’m losing control The mirror shows a stranger, a fractured design You see… it’s all been foretold You see… I’m forever sold [Chorus] Everything I am today, it’s crumbling away It was given to me, like rust on a blade Everything I wanna be, it’s slipping from me It’ll be given to me, a debt I can’t repay Every moment I’ve endured, it’s etched in my core It was given to me, a wound I can’t ignore Every good and bad thing I’ve known, it’s not my own It was given to me, like ash on a throne [Outro] This is where it ends…The weight of it all…Given to me… ========================================== ©2025 Enlightened Entertainment.
