Lyrics

[0:37.287] Consider me dead if that's what you want
[0:39.636] Gather around me, the day has come
[0:46.171] Straight through the threshold, the morning calls
[0:50.347] Wasn't meant to be there
[0:52.597] When I opened the door
[0:54.529] You saw me begging, you saw me down on my knees
[0:58.657] I felt defenseless and you don't know how it feels
[1:02.840] I have made up my mind every time
[1:04.887] It's been dragged in the dirt
[1:07.102] Every scar wears a thought
[1:09.179] Leaving battles that I've loved
[1:11.200] It's been hard, it's been fiercely infected
[1:13.220] It's been dropped, it's been suddenly present
[1:15.493] Cutting ways that I've walked
[1:17.818] Earning miles through it all
[1:19.175] I was late for the kill but early for the slaughter
[1:24.849] I don't care how it bleeds
[1:26.935] I was late for the kill but stopped in to drag the waters
[1:33.138] Turn the bitter to sleep
[1:38.464] I do believe there's something more, though my vision's blurred
[1:44.470] Straight out of nowhere with the lack of words
[1:48.791] I've been given the time,
[1:50.871] I've been given the faith
[1:52.934] Don't you try to stop me, don't you lie to my face
[1:57.020] I have made up my mind every time
[1:59.110] It's been turned to prevail
[2:01.320] Every word feeds the crown
[2:03.464] To dictate the profound
[2:05.389] It's been hard, it's been fiercely infected
[2:07.543] It's been dropped, it's been suddenly present
[2:09.660] Cutting ways that I've walked
[2:11.912] Earning miles through it all
[2:16.739] Through it all
[2:29.529] I was late for the kill but early for the slaughter
[2:35.870] I don't care how it bleeds
[2:37.879] I was late for the kill but stopped in to drag the waters
[2:44.053] Turn the bitter to sleep
[2:52.106] Just hear me out on this one'
[2:55.908] Cause I ain't got nothing to hide
[2:58.865] I will wipe out this mess
[3:01.149] And return to life
[3:36.892] Consider me dead if that's what you want
[3:39.003] Gather around me, the day is done
[3:45.363] Late for the kill, early for the slaughter
[3:51.091] I don't care how it bleeds
[3:53.649] Late for the kill, stopped in to drag the waters
[3:59.425] Turn the bitter to sleep
