Get back up, what are you waiting for this time?
I'm over playing with this plight
But I'm still handcuffed, ball-gagged, facedown to the floor
And I'm waiting while I'm hating what I'm waiting for
It's time to take ahold of what belongs to me
It's time to walk away with no apologies
These voices in the mirror start quietly
And now they're screaming back at me
Don't back down
Holding on until my hands and mind are bleeding
Don't back down
This is my birthright
Don't back down
I'm so sick of feeling like I'm helpless
Don't back down
This is over tonight
Don't back up, your ass is to the wall again and
Aren't you sick of wasting so much time?
And yes it's true you're a fool if you think you were born
To be waiting while you're hating what you're waiting for
It's time to take ahold of what belongs to me
It's time to walk away with no apologies
These voices in the mirror start quietly
And now they're screaming back at me
Don't back down
Holding on until my hands and mind are bleeding
Don't back down
This is my birthright
Don't back down
I'm so sick of feeling like I'm helpless
Don't back down
This is over tonight
How could have I been so earthbound
with my heart in the depths and my face in the ground?
it's time to uproot myself and move on
How could have I been making sound
When my mouth and my lungs had both fused to the ground?
it's time to uproot myself and move on
The voices in my head have all begun to sing
(the voices in your head have all begun to sing)
and they sure as hell hope I am listening
(I sure as hell hope you are listening)
It's time to take ahold of what belongs to me
It's time to walk away with no apologies
These voices in the mirror start quietly
And now they're screaming back at me
Don't back down
Holding on until my hands and mind are bleeding
Don't back down
This is my birthright
Don't back down
I'm so sick of feeling like I'm helpless
Don't back down
This is over tonight
"Levanta, o que você espera desta vez?"
Já me cansei de brincar com esta situação
Mas ainda estou algemado, acorrentado, de cara pro chão
E eu espero, enquanto odeio o que estou esperando
É hora de tomar posse do que me pertence
É hora de ir embora sem pedir desculpas
Estas vozes no espelho começam quietas
E agora elas gritam comigo
Não recue!
Me seguro até minhas mãos e mente sangrarem
Este é meu direito de nascença
Estou tão farto de me sentir desamparado
Isto acaba esta noite
Não recue, você já está encurralado contra a parede
E não está cansado de desperdiçar tanto tempo?
E, sim, é verdade que você é um tolo se pensa que nasceu
Para esperar por algo enquanto você odeia o que espera
Como consegui ser tão mundano
Com meu coração no fundo e meu rosto no chão?
É hora de me soltar e me mover
Como eu pude fazer som
Quando minha boca e pulmões estão voltados pro chão?
É hora de me soltar e me mover
As vozes na minha mente começaram a cantar
(As vozes na sua mente começaram a cantar)
E elas tem toda a esperança de que eu as ouça
(Eu tenho toda certeza de que você está ouvindo)
