I'm a hostage in my own belief
So before you give your love away
To a hostage in your own beliefs
You better turn around and walk away
Turn around and walk away

Been around enough to know the afterlife
I had to go back for another fight
Holding onto breath 'cause it only lasts me so long

I've been evaluated
And I'm valued by what I bring in
So take society
It's not the life that I want to lead

I feel you starting to let go
And my grip is all I have to show
But my hands are worn
Peeling back, they're paper thin
I'm trying to be more
I'm trying to not be the loss I am

I always knew that I was different
I always knew that you'd be there
I always knew that we would make it
I always knew it would not be fair
I always knew it would not be fair

It's not that I'm tired
'Cause I could go for years
It's not that I'm over it
It's the moaning fear
Singing me every morning
Sing it to me every night
Yell it at my reflection
Disgusted by the trail of waste I can't hide

Been around enough to know the afterlife
I had to go back for another fight
Holding onto breath 'cause it only lasts me so long

I've been evaluated
And I'm valued by what I bring in
So take society
It's not the life that I want to lead

I always knew that I was different
I always knew that you'd be there
I always knew that we would make it
I always knew it would-

I'm picking up the pieces
Even if they don't all fit
And I'll put 'em all together
Regardless of the shape they're in
And life will hand you mayhem
And you will have to make it work
But it's not life, just society
And we're all slaves to what we earn

I've been evaluated
And I'm valued by what I bring in
I've been evaluated
And I'm valued by what I bring in
I've been evaluated
And I'm valued by what I bring in
I've been evaluated
I've been evaluated
