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
