Where They Lay

Back to the grind, end of the line
Back to the life I knew
Pain deep inside, swallow my pride
Still I think I'm losing you

Nearing the end, more than a friend
What the hell can I say?
Years left behind, trapped in my mind
Wishing for another day

Fool proof, no bail, locked inside
(Scaling the rafters)
Tight restraints, my hands they're tied
(Taking the bastards)

Slave to the cause, breaking the laws
No more common decency
Must be a sign you're doing fine
So much better without me

Learn from the past, always the last
Wonder when will my day come?
I'll never quit, won't submit
Hoping that you'll be the one

You may try to break us down
Can't you see we're here to stay
Scores of them have tried before
At our feet is where they lay

It's our calling, scream, rage, mauling
Can't you see we're breaking out?
Overloaded, so explosive
Cathartic, vengeful shout

Dreaming of flight all through the night
What the hell does it mean?
Float in a flood, thrive in the mud
Black sheep anomaly

Rise to the task, breaking the fast
Feeling for the first time whole
Charging the fight, light up the night
Forever I will live my goal
