lyrics

What a sick way to get the itch out of your system
Making deals to feel the light pass through your system
This is what I have to do get myself out of the darkness
Cause you already know I worked too damn hard you know I want this

Everybody wants to sell you something
Everybody wants a piece of you
Everybody wants to come from nothing
And everybody wants to make it through

Don't pass the torch if you don't have the flame
(I live by your rejection, no truth in your acceptance)
They sell your soul they sell your name
(I walk in my direction they fall in your deception)

Where do I stand among the lies, deceit, and filth
Your selling everybody a dream and your making it a living hell
You want us to climb back up these walls, so you can watch us fall back down
We're all just running in circles around and around

Everybody wants to sell you something
Everybody wants a piece of you

Don't pass the torch if you don't have the flame
(I live by your rejection, no truth in your acceptance)
They sell your soul they sell your name
(I walk in my direction they fall in your deception)

I won't betray myself
Tear everything from the inside out
Kick a dog when it's down
I won't dismantle myself
Playing your games trying to find my way in
Trying to find my way back out
