Back so full of scrapes
The miles I've walked of waste
To fade and fall away against
Numb my hunger to taste

My back so full of scrapes
The miles I've walked of waste
To fade and fall away against
Numb my hunger to taste

What's the basis for change
Excuses to feed my ego's rage
Cling to my comfort to quench
Content with my sadistic wrench

Find every reason not to kill
The halfway beast
That steals my only peace
And don't expect it to rest
'Til it's home is a naturalistic nest

My back so full of scrapes
(With another wound)
With the miles I've walked of waste
(With another scar)
To fade and fall away against
(With another scratch)
Numb my hunger to taste
But there is no coincidence
There is no compromise
There is no coincidence
And there is no compromise

Rise

Close my grip on the floodgates
And lean on the back of the covenant
Sealed in dreams
Anticipate the backlash
Uncountable grins fade to screams
Doubts an ocean away on a sea
That my last mistake drowned unwillingly
And I don't have the trust to float inside
The waves that seek to spill me

Rise

Unrealistic ideals
Promises I can't keep
I don't have those luxuries
And I don't have the time you do to sleep
And now it starts
And now it begins
I've waited too long for this
For your fear to interfere again
So now my vision's secured
So now my vision's secured
So now my vision's secured
