I never thought this could be me

I guess you never do, 'til it's happening to you

like all the fun turns into shame

and all the "could have beens" rearrange

so little time so many crimes, guilt like a chain chokes my will away

redemption never seemed so cruel

and all my gods never seemed so weak

Wake up engage now derailed and enraged

it used to be so easy

get up I'm game now I'm sick and I'm tame counting cost with lost

but now I'm only me I'm only me

Drink to pills to shots put me into shock

a habit and a pawn

for every hand goes round the pain gets so damn loud

the hammer hits and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down

and I'm down and

trust no one

hey why should I, they gave me the poison dressed like life

cheated smacked up and diseased cry to sleep and fight to eat

used to be a pro at this

now I've broken my own wrist

rotten teeth and life unsung you'll forget me when I'm gone

Wake up engage now derailed and enraged

it used to be so easy

get up I'm game now I'm sick and I'm tame counting cost with lost

I used to be a lot like you but now I'm only me

I used to be a lot like you but now I'm only me I'm only me
