Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Help me wade through this murder land

You feel the cycle repeat

I can walk through the deepest sand

Tell me how you release

[Chorus]

On and on, I'll let you win

At the bottom, you begin

You beat the life out of me

In a fortress of hate

Inside you disintegrate

I'll beat the life out of you

You beat the life out of me

[Verse 2]

You never stood on your own for long

Now that your mother works

You lay about in the midday sun

Now that you're dying of thirst

[Chorus]

On and on, I'll let you win

At the bottom, you begin

You beat the life out of me

In the fortress of hate

Inside you'll disintegrate

I'll beat the life out of you

You beat the life out of me

[Verse 3]

Gather 'round, like you were born in zero three

All alone, you just keep dancing in the street

You'll drown, I'll push you when you finally sink

Unknown, that this became your, became your destiny

[Bridge]

I rise above

I drink the coffee

I punch the mirror

You can't stop

I can't decide

You can't fix me

It's in my head

It won't stop

[Outro]

Right now

On and on, I'll let you win

Right now

At the bottom, you begin

You beat the life out of me

Right now

In a fortress of hate

Right now

Inside you'll disintegrate

I'll beat the life out of you

You beat the life out of me
