I made it out of the maze
cleared the smoke and the mirrors away
All that remains is the honest truth
but it's the same mistake
I made last week
I fell back in that trap
Every breath I breathe
barely makes it past my teeth
'cause these same vises occupy my mind
I opened up the cage to find
that the beast locked inside
didn't wanna to be saved
Bridge
Panic makes all my decisions for me
No rational thought just a quick jerk of the knee
I am alive
Despite the pain and strife
My salvation lies in every note
Sent from my heart straight to my throat
I bleed for my anger
I hold onto my youth
till my hands shake from this white knuckle grip
verse 2
But I've got a gold medal in failure
I climb up to the highest block
I felt the cold down my spine from their empty accolades
My passion becomes comatose
But like these notes these problem won't
resolve themselves
Bridge
Well Panic makes all my decisions for me
No rational thought just a quick jerk of the knee
I am alive
Despite the pain and strife
My salvation lies in every note
Sent from my heart straight to my throat
I bleed for my anger
I hold onto my youth
till my hands shake from this white knuckle grip
verse 3
And my body is sick of this thinking
My Body is sick of the drinking
Everybody knows what I'm thinking
Everybody but me (x2)
and my mind weak from this sickness
Head to toe engulfed in the weakness
At least I know that I still have feeling
I am alive
Despite the pain and strife
My salvation lies in every note
Sent from my heart straight to my throat
I bleed for my anger
I hold onto my youth
till my hands shake from this white knuckle grip
