I am seeing tunnel vision in a world that's dark and cold, 
I cannot believe how much I've changed since the days of old, 
I know it's temporary but 
I need to focus straight, 
I cannot believe I lost control of my fate, 
I need forgiveness from the people I truly care about, 
I need support behind my back to help me spit it out 
I am gonna win, 
I can't afford to blow this one, 
I hate myself sometimes, 
I love myself, 
I need this way of life because it holds me
Contradiction's the way of life 
Happiness is wealthiness is healthy now 
I've made it through those lies and deceit, 
I think what's done is done and I can't complain anymore 
I am sure now that I've found myself again it feels great 
I can't believe I'd lost control of my fate
