As Fast As I

I can't escape, and she calls for a prison break

A hell saved for a bed unmade

This is the death of all I'll be

For the rest of the world can't see

This is the least of dreams I breathe

And I believe in me

I can't replace me, and she calls for a new lead

A curse masked as her last breath

This is the best of all I'll be

A lesser man than you expect of me

Still greater than they'd ever be

This is the beast that keeps me reaching

And I believe in me

The beat goes on and on and on

The drums keep pace with her siren song

I watch the world flooded and gone

And I belong, I belong

The steel cuts deep and the blood is drawn

The world runs off with a curse and a gun

I watch her die clutching a rusted poem

And I am gone, I am gone

I can't relate, and she claims the whole world knows me

They know my name, but they could never show me

Anything, but broken dreams, and a record that keeps spinning

Songs about the end of days, to keep pace with the hate she's spitting

This is the breadth of all that made me

And I believe in me, I believe in me.
