Carry out my sentence with urgency
So I cannot pretend
I cannot fantasize
This is not just a passing phase
And when I
Look up and see your face
It burns a hole
Buried deep inside my brain
Gave up everything
To show you the real me inside
The one I see in my own reflection
As we wait
For things to fall into place
Suffocate
From every breath that I take
And I won’t believe that this was just a dream
‘Til we see soldiers prey on me
PLEASE
Carry out my sentence before I bleed
And put me in the ground
Or help me rise again
‘Cause only you have the power to set me free
SO
Do we tempt the fates?
And take a piece of the poison apple?
We give up everything
Just to prove that this is real
And I’m just an untimely tragedy
As we wait
For things to fall into place
Suffocate
From every breath that I take
And I won’t believe that this was just a dream
‘Til we see soldiers prey on me
OOH, YEAH!
What is this story about?
Everything I’ve ever known
In my world comes crashing down
With all that’s inside of me
I’m just about to explode
And this is my reality
What is this story about?
Everything you’ve ever known
In your world comes crashing down
With all that’s inside of you
You’re just about to explode
And this is your reality
SO PREY ON ME
