[Intro]

Back so full of scrapes

The miles I've walked of waste

To fade and fall away against

Numb my hunger to taste

My back so full of scrapes

The miles I've walked of waste

To fade and fall away against

Numb my hunger to taste

[Verse 1]

What's the basis for change

Excuses to feed my ego's rage

Cling to my comfort to quench

Content with my sadistic wrench

Find every reason not to kill

The halfway beast

That steals my only peace

And don't expect it to rest

'Til it's home is a naturalistic nest

[Chorus]

My back so full of scrapes

(With another wound)

With the miles I've walked of waste

(With another scar)

To fade and fall away against

(With another scratch)

Numb my hunger to taste

[Bridge]

But there is no coincidence

There is no compromise

There is no coincidence

And there is no compromise

Rise

[Verse 2]

Close my grip on the floodgates

And lean on the back of the covenant

Sealed in dreams

Anticipate the backlash

Uncountable grins fade to screams

Doubts an ocean away on a sea

That my last mistake drowned unwillingly

And I don't have the trust to float inside

The waves that seek to spill me

Rise

[Verse 3]

Unrealistic ideals

Promises I can't keep

I don't have those luxuries

And I don't have the time you do to sleep

And now it starts

And now it begins

I've waited too long for this

For your fear to interfere again

[Outro]

So now my vision's secured

So now my vision's secured

So now my vision's secured
