Lyrics

I've always been
Hold me accountable for all I'll ever make of myself.
Make me the pinnacle of bad decisions.
Shunned away from all I love in life.
With time so prescious.
See I'm not so young.
After all been said and done
I'm still the one behind the wheel.

A battered boy steps out and walks his way to the front.
His patrons won't hear him out.
With a tremble in his voice, can we really judge what we don't know.

A script that calls for him to spare the lives of the hungry as they're dying.
Then all hope falls.
Can we spare the child from his fate across a banner. We don't know.

One hand pushes in while the other pulls him away.

I NEED YOU TO GIVE ME A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME SO THAT I CAN
SPILL MY HEART AND HELP YOU FEEL
AS HELPLESS AS I'VE ALWAYS BEEN.

And so he waits for the perfect time
to take but what he owns.
No they can't take his pride,
but they can judge based on what they'll never know.

CHORUS

In this life we crawl until we learn the rules.
Pushed and pulled until we're told just what to do.
And in my life, fate is only what I can't change.
I'll throw it away.

Did you really think I'd let you put me down this time?
Choose it or defy. It's mine, no wait it's yours.

I know exactly how you feel.
