lyrics

Verse 1:
One, two, three, four
The ticking clock wants more
Gotta make, gotta make a quick escape
Gotta take the chance to break
Away from the mistake

What's the plan, is it our last stand?
Are we going to make demands?
Is the line drawn in bloody sand?
Set yourself, stay the course
Kill remorse, cut the source
With a force that fears all that you are

Pre-chorus 1:
Rise up, off your knees
Take it up, the legacy
Give up, being weak
Lose control of your:
Senses, Self, Pride, Restraint
Vanity, Sanity, Dignity, Faith

Chorus:
Wasted on keeping you down
Time now a thorny crown
Carry your burden no more
Time to, settle the score

These shells cannot endure
A storm inside so wild and pure
The frantic clock's the system shock

Verse 2:
Nature's beat, our hearts the metronomes
We write our pain in tomes
A way for us to absolve sin
Now say it with a grin
But never let it win, or let it in
Now it's too late
This virus called life
We fight to survive

Pre-chorus 2:
Kneel, Down
Bow, Down
Lose it All

Senses, Self, Pride, Restraint
Vanity, Sanity, Dignity, and Faith

Chorus

Bridge and Breakdown
