Left Behind

Time has hit you different But I don't think you've changed Craving me was useless All excuses drained Just know, all the sacrifice had robbed me of my time Believe me, I don't look back, and I left with my pride I left behind everything you killed inside Left you behind You'd keep me down, I know better now Won't bring me down again I still keep your secrets Know your worst mistakes Played into my weakness Stripped away my strength Onе day, you will see this all for how it truly was Repeat evеry memory, it's all that's left of us I left behind everything you killed inside Left you behind You'd keep me down, I know better now Won't bring me down again Time has hit me different I don't feel the same Know I feel this distance But I don't share the pain I don't share the pain No more I left behind everything you killed inside Left you behind You'd keep me down, I know better now Won't bring me down again

Is this a nightmare Where no one fights fair? I get the same stare, don't risk thinking We’re barely human We self-abuse and What's so confusing? Just keep sleeping Trapped within our flesh and blood Medicated 'til we’re done 'Cause you're sick, you're bred into it Our families fed into it Oh, it's so pathetic We'll never break free The truths alive You fail the soul So paralyzed You choose a side They will take it all They will take it all Choose a side They will take it all They will take it all Watch the divide They'll entertain you Control the ways to Can it sustain through generations? You feel connected Through self-expression Don't ask a question or they might kill you Trapped within our flesh and blood Medicated ’til we’re done 'Cause you’re sick, you're bred into it Our families fed into it Oh, it's so pathetic We'll never break free The truths alive You fail the soul So paralyzed You choose a side They will take it all They will take it all Choose a side They will take it all They will take it all Watch the divide I can’t fucking take it We falter as they flourish They fill their banks with lies We see our peace discouraged Our will to fight subsides The truths alive You fail the soul So paralyzed You choose a side They will take it all They will take it all Choose a side They will take it all They will take it all Watch the divide
