Lyrics: Vincent Jacovelli/Elijah Geldard
Music: Chanler Hendrickson
Lost inside the ocean
Of my thoughts and my compulsion
Product of my prayer
This is the cost of being chosen
Off to be a showman
Time to flaunt it
Feeling hopeless
Know that I was never broken
Only cautious of emotion
Built a brick wall around myself
So they could never see the person that I was before the fame
And all the jealousy
Ego and pride are intertwining with my chemistry
Gotta make a choice between a legacy or therapy
It's no surprise that I'm 'a choose whatever build me to the man that I was meant to be
The person that I will be
Done with feeling guilty
I'm 'a grind until I'm filthy
I'll be pushing for this life until it kill me
Tell me: what's a man without struggle?
What's a man without strife?
What's a path with no trouble
Or searching to find the light?
You gotta pay the price
Allow the flame to ignite
Welcome to a little game called "Life"
Give me your life
I know I've been living wrong, but it feels so right
Give me your life
Pray that I keep my soul because I've already lost my mind
Give me your life
I'm way better on my own. Say it one more time
Give me your
I pray that I can survive this nightmare
Give me your life
Give me your life
Come and give it to me
Come and give it to me
Come and give it to me
I don't wanna play these games. No more
They wouldn't give me my flowers
So, I planted my own
Funny how the seeds of doubt
They sowed just tell me to grow
Listen
I'm done with stressing over things I can't control
Kept my sanity, while sat an whispered doubt in my soul
Look
I'll decide my own metrics to what my own success is
'Cause people make you feel lesser 'cause of their own reflection
Became obsessed with the endless cycle we call "perfection"
Second-guessing, moving off opinions
Not my hearts's direction
Let some people down
And, honestly, wish I responded more
Standing over bridges that I burnt, while walking through these doors
Lights weigh heavy on your eyes
Attention is a drug
Though in the moment, you think everything's fine
Some take and they lie
Steal to replenish inside
The lack of love and seek attention
Never felt in their lives
When no compassion and acceptance from a childhood drives
And follows you until the engine breaks
For that I empathize
For those who walk a lonely road without a light to escape
Holding your chin up through the chaos as the thunder remains
Rain clouds become a routine part of your day
So much that feeling out of body doesn't feel out of place
I empathize with those who took a different rout that the rest
And marked the necklace of an outcast
Stuck upon your chest
Permanent
Not fatal mark
Until you conquer the quest
But that's the price you pay for freedom not controlled by the press
Give me your life
I know I've been living wrong, but it feels so right
Give me your life
Pray that I keep my soul because I've already lost my mind
Give me your life
I'm way better on my own. Say it one more time
Give me your
I pray that I can survive this nightmare
