i'm taking it back/ everything i gave away/ all my self respect my dignity/ my urgency for change/ i just want to live my life/ like every day could be my last/ like the future doesn't have to be a/ mirror of our past mistakes/ with all the skeletons we hide/ fill our bodies full of poison/ just to kill the pain inside/ yeah we all know that something's wrong/ it's on our eyes in our hearts/ where it has been all along/ take back your mind/ so get up off your knees and shake the dirt off of your soul/ we don't have to be afraid we are in control/ all that's standing in our way are the walls we build inside/ this life can be about more than just getting by/ nothing that you ever had means shit/ on the day you die/ all that matters are the dreams you chase/ and how hard that you tried/ it's ingrained in us to measure our success/ by the amount of physical wealth we are/ brainwashed to possess/ yet the more that we become the things we own/ the more we live a life that's shallow hard/ and oh so fucking cold/ i want to live before i die/ i want to be proud of the world i leave behind/ i want to live before i die/ and if it falls apart/ at least i know i fucking tried
