VERSE:
This clock it hangs on the wall,
threatening to make a change,
reminding me that I don't have all day.
Their eyes, they sink, into mine,
searching for a way to stay.
Inquisitive of what all could be said.
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't hold me back, all you fools,
this is necessary, to figure out,
all that you've done wrong.
CHORUS:
I don't wanna, fall into your lines,
I don't wanna, feel this dull inside,
(forever, forever)
I don't wanna, act like I'm alive,
I don't wanna, show these same old signs,
(forever, forever)
Oh I'm not content yet.
VERSE:
Seeing blank faces in the crowd,
these lurking creatures follow,
still searching for meaning,
oh oh.
PRE CHORUS:
Don't hold me back, all you fools,
this is necessary, to figure out,
all that you've done wrong.
CHORUS:
I don't wanna, fall into your lines,
I don't wanna, feel this dull inside,
(forever, forever)
I don't wanna, act like I'm alive,
I don't wanna, show these same old signs,
(forever, forever)
Oh I'm not content yet.
BRIDGE:
Take off the mask there's more to life,
than little stupid constant strifes,
abandon all you've known,
take a trip into the vast unknown.
Take off the mask don't look away,
move forward to a better day,
don't sign your life away,
take back your life it's not too late.
PRE CHORUS:
Don't hold me back, all you fools,
this is necessary, to figure out,
all that you've done wrong.
CHORUS:
I don't wanna, fall into your lines,
I don't wanna, feel this dull inside,
(forever, forever)
I don't wanna, act like I'm alive,
I don't wanna, show these same old signs,
(forever, forever)
Oh I'm not content yet.
