bit by excruciating bit

grip falls away
[straitjacket feeling]

what happens next?
[dare you to move]

i can't see at all
[thank you]

only a thought
[life for rent]

i'll give up everything just to find You
[taking over you]

bid my blood to run, before i come undone
[bring me to life]

step up. i can't not be what i am.
[nobody's fool]

sometimes i get so weird, i even freak myself out
[anything but ordinary]

gotta keep moving on. take a risk. take a chance. make a change.
[breakaway]

hope still lingers on
[the world i know]
