I've felt a strange unsettling change coursing through my veins. I meant to give happiness a chance to remain. I felt death grazing my neck, but only as a gesture - a caring reminder of our fleeting mortality. Well, now I know - there are no mistakes, just choices that change our conditions. I felt ashamed for giving up, giving up in this way, for I was carrying far too many loads. Well, now I know - there are no mistakes, just choices that change our conditions... There are no mistakes - just choices and personal convictions.

Don't hold this in, for there's no space for this (no space for this). Stop going back to where you began, my friend. There's nothing left there for you to attain. There's not a single grain of salt that's left inside, inside this capsuled lie that you've failed to disclaim. Don't hold this in, for there's no space this (no space for this). Don't hold poison in, thinking you can change things all in one night. Stop going back to where you began, my friend. There's nothing left there for you to attain. You started making amends - you started making plans again! you're moving way too fast for these wounds to heal right. Goodbye to old habits that break and drive yourself away from family and friends (you're not awake) - they just won't say it.

Its never been easy - its especially hard now Chasing two hares both at once While its never been easy, its especially hard when built upon blind love While its never been easy, its especially hard now, but I'm never gonna quit - So long as you're asking me to! For it may seem like a rough routine... As for us, we're never going to quit. While its never been easy, its especially hard now With these demotivating words From all kinds of naysayers Its never been easy, but is it truly hard when you put in the work, and your heart's in the right place? While its never been easy, its especially hard now But I'm never gonna quit - So long as you're asking me to! For it may seem like a rough routine... As for us, we're never going to quit.

In the fall back plan we unite - in the end Still not shedding, the sun's never setting without feeling what its like to be new. Without regretting, without ever fretting, without misplacing your mind in the room with your friends. Well, there is no fall back plan. We ignite - in the end. Its damned if I do, its damned if I don't! Yet, I just want to know what its like to feel new. To feel lifted without some society or addiction taking grasp of me! Before I even do, before I am new, before this ascension to come. Without regretting, without ever fretting, without misplacing your mind in the room like a fool. Its damned if I do, its damned if I don't! You weren't feeling enough, but now you're feeling too much for any single person to handle right now... At least not in their right mind, and its not their fault - its yours. No, its not their fault its yours. In the fall back plan we unite - in the end. They want to see as you are. They want to see your mind's eye - naked and gold in the morning light - Without taking strange form in the room.
