Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There I was, laid out on a table

Screaming sweat and bare feet to the floor

In my life, I'd not soften

Things that cut and burn so often

But I sit, think of something

Scared to face the dying nothing

[Verse 2]

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore

[Verse 3]

Where I go is when I feel I'm able

How I fight is why I'm feeling sore

In my mind, not forgotten

Feel as though a tooth were rotten

Behind the smile, a tongue that's slipping

Buzzards cry when flesh is ripping

[Verse 4]

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore

[Verse 5]

Here I sit writing on the paper

Trying to make up words you can't ignore

In my eyes, what I'm lacking

Score at face, a ten for slacking

Sign the deal, set in motion

Smaller fish, so huge the ocean

[Verse 6]

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore

[Verse 7]

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore
