Upon a fractured world
Discontent riddles my mind
I've been living on borrowed time
Disillusion swallows me
Hatred aids confusion
Shifting emotions hiding behind a masquerade
Nothing left in retrospect but ghosts of the past
Lingering in skin and bones
On the final heartbeat
I won't be held down
I won't be held down
I won't be held down
Hanging by a thread
They standby
Connected by this ignorance
No room within for independence
Don't feel a need to repent when my penance always shows from the outside
By the scars on skin
So what? Am I meant to give up?
Running out of ways to hold on
I could end it all in seconds
Mentality is a lethal weapon
Shifting emotions hiding behind a masquerade
Nothing left in retrospect but ghosts of the past
Lingering in skin and bones
On the final heartbeat
I won't be held down
I won't be held down
Transcending, Descending
Through the prison of souls
I'll see you in this life or the next
I cry out in dispossession
It owns me
Controls me
I am now complete
