My knuckles are blue

my lips taste like blood

I was fighting for you

It was almost enough

They came down with blindfolds blazing
and rocks in their hands

I screamed until my lungs gave out
and they were in my head

Someone takes your mind

They take your very life

Your breath, your feet, your sight

And all your loving

You can try and break away

But you will always misbehave

Realize who you are is so much stronger
than what you've done

My hourglass is speeding

And I always see your face

I know that I could touch it
But I'm too dirty for your grace

You can try and convince me otherwise
But I've not done what I should

I'm a slave to who makes slaves of men
And I'm shackled here for good

Someone takes your mind

They take your very life

Your breath, your feet, your sight
And all your loving

Try and break away

But you will always misbehave

Realize who you are is so much stronger

Someone takes your mind

They take your very life

Your breath, your feet, your sight

And all your loving

You can try and break away

But you will always misbehave

Until you realize who you are is so much stronger

You are not the choices that you've made

You are not the memories that parade through your mind

You are seen by someone who is greater

And you are loved, you are loved
