Cheat Death - Bent Life

I’ve been stabbing at the dark

Praying for some kind of ending

Bruised and beaten, hardened breathing

I’ve been fighting a war that I can’t win

A room full of no one

Myself against myself

And I never meant to drag you down

Because if you wanna know the truth…

It’s that I’d break this fucking world in two

If that’s what I had to do

I need your hand to pull me back from that dead-end sting of doubt;

Like I’m pissing on a burning building

Like I’m burning just to burn out

Now I’m braking harder

Those spinning feelings are slowing so I can’t lose grip

The sheer fact of living’s like I’m cheating death

And I’ve been trying, but understanding mercy while I’m hanging from a rope has

me feeling like humanity is one sick joke

And I can’t stop laughing

I’ve been dying to live, playing absolutes in a time where faith’s misused

Burdened by my own morality, you know I love to lose

Abandon old traditions

Break the unwillingness to change

There are no second chances, the clock ticks until it breaks

I’m giving everything I have to give

Fighting a war I can’t win
