I saw my life in vivid times flash right before my eyes,
While i slept i dreamed of the castles i needed to build, needed to climb in my head
It was time to connect these vocal cords dividing my speech to make my move to where i needed to be (needed to be)
Where have i been all this time stuck in a coma where time does not exist?
Run your mouth, i'm screaming now, hear me now,
Walk away, just let go of your past, you thought you knew
God i need you now to drown out the sound of these ghosts singing in choruses
You reap what you sow, but never thought i'd know how it be to feel so lost
But you can't have everything, be content with what you have
I can see what you want in the dark, please restore the light,
And time wasn't on my side, the past wasn't far behind,
These parasites will hold tight until there's nothing left.
Dear sleeper, dear sleeper my eyes are begging to believe,
These nightmares deceive me into thinking that i'm not enough
With time left it's not too late, don't lose sight
Cleanse your mind,
Rid your hands of your flaws you thought you knew
Chorus repeated
If your life flashed right before your eyes would you have built and empire or the fragments of something that could have been? i'm sick of letting time slip through my fingertips. i'm sick of letting my past control who i am and who i was. do you trust yourself? to let it all go?
I promise myself i'd make things right, i promise myself tonight, tonight
Relapse, reflect, revive in order to feel alive.
Dismantle and reconstruct everything you thought you knew.
Rebuild your mind like it wasn't even there all along.
Last chorus:
I'll steal my fate straight away from the hands of destiny.
For all the ones who turned their back on me, i never expected, no i never wanted you to show.
Shining brighter than you know, i'll climb to the tallest peak
You thought i'd give up on myself and lose all faith
As my lungs fill up with air, for the first time i can see in clarity, in clarity
It's mind over matter and you never mattered,
I'll take what's left of my sanity.
Remember when i gave it all for you and me?
I'll never return, i'll never relapse
