Sometimes we are our own worst enemies
And each road that we take can bring us to places we don't wanna be
But if we fight with everything we got
They might just end up leading us to where we're supposed to be all along
I'm waking up from this nightmare for the first and last time
I'm taking back control over my brainwashed mind
Step by step I inch closer to the finish line
Through these eyes I'm seeing things in a different light
I've tried denying
Using lies and drugs to anesthetize
I got too close to the edge and nearly lost my life
My want collided with my need and I was hypnotized
I been fighting this disease
"Ms. Abusive Love of Mine"
Up at night trying to sleep and
Praying god will get rid of the thoughts that creep in
Trying to live up to a life that's been cheapened
Making my way out of this hole that's been deepened
Tired of diving head first into the deep end
The catalyst between angels and demons
I survive myself everyday
I guess that's what they call recovery
Just for today I will be clean of the chemical ghost
No longer haunted by the memories of playing the host
No longer lonely, sad and miserable
Confused and repulsed
Behind the eyes
The spark alive
The newborn spirit exposed
You see the passion contracting
The senses re-align
The satisfaction of interaction
The natural high
My name is "I Am Who I Am and I'm All The Above"
I'm a revision of the vision I've had since day one
If I wrote you a love letter would you write back?
If I stuck up for myself would you have my back?
If I told you all my secrets would you still be mine?
If I told you I was leaving would you say goodbye?
Brought back to life
Starting to breath again
I've sacraficed for something to believe in
I've played victim to all the pain and suffering
I am the only one I've been cheating
Guided and reminded by the scars of all the time I bided
Reliance in the shape of recognizance
The size of a conscience
Piece by part I'm finding peace in this malevolent heart
Long term relief
This therapy has saved the light from the dark
In the end
You gotta keep a level head
Have faith in yourself
Don't be a slave to another dying trend
Cos' everyday when you open your eyes
You're you again
And every moment that you're alive
You get another chance
