Forgiveness - Dead, Awake

Playing the victim

Always someone’s bitch

I know it’s wrong but I’m addicted and I need my fix

Look in the mirror and don’t recognize the face that appears

Now it’s clear I’ve become everything that I fear

The person that I am is not the mask that I hide behind

Tell my darkness it’s the end of the line

Broken free of all the chains and all the ties that bind

You no longer have the power here

This life is mine

Tell me how it feels

To look deeply into both my eyes

And see the fire inside

Not a slave to the thoughts of the past

The hole inside of me was vast but I’m free at last

Tell me how it feels

To look deeply into both my eyes

And see the fire inside

I’ve sweated out all the sickness

'Cause I’m so fucking sick of begging for forgiveness

(Go!)

Living like a cancer

Always searching for answers

Never asking any questions and never learning my lesson

No expression of how I felt when I was deep in depression

And all these therapy sessions just made me feel like I was fucked up

It’s been the same routine since I was a teen

I would take all of the punches and I would fall to my knees

Feeling like I caused the problems

And didn’t know how to stop them

Until I woke the fuck up and I killed the disease

Tell me how it feels

To look deeply into both my eyes

And see the fire inside

Not a slave to the thoughts of the past

The hole inside of me was vast but I’m free at last

Tell me how it feels

To look deeply into both my eyes

And see the fire inside

I’ve sweated out all the sickness

'Cause I’m so fucking sick of begging for forgiveness

Your past does not define you

Break free of the chains that bind you

Your past is now behind you

The fire is inside you
