I am the man I am today, From all the experience I've gained The lies I made, the cards I played Watch it all burn around an Ace of Spades And as I fumble with the match, My life like flashbacks flashes past The days I cried, the days I died Clawing, tearing my insides I, know that I can't run and hide, Knowing that, even if i tried Nothing will be better when I take a peek Because it's all uncertain, and all left to me And I, am not satisfied With the anger we feel and the rage we defy Why, is it so hard to see That we're caught in a landslide, an avalanche of debris Some days, I lay on the ground And stretch my hands up without making a sound Reach for the sky, but there's no prize All hope is lost and I've lost all my pride Insane, is the only way That normality fades, and only you change You've got more control, as we rise and we fall Being crazy is the only way to stay sane... I, know that I can't run and hide, Knowing that, even if i tried Nothing will be better when I take a peek Because it's all uncertain, and all left to me And I, am not satisfied With the anger we feel and the rage we defy Why, is it so hard to see That we're caught in a landslide, an avalanche of debris
