Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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
