Nine stories coming to me
Everyone one is true at namesake
Rage resides inside us all
But we let it fade and we watch it fall away
Until rejection comes to see me
With the same old hurt I’ve come to take
Nothing left behind this mask
But the pride that resides inside all of us
Yet when it comes to blows
And everything comes crashing down
So little feels this way
This is not me, this is not my truth
My dreams come with a ball and chain
Tied to the little hope I have
And so we deny
Ten seconds left inside me
Countdown to the end I heard you say
Shame hides inside us all
But we lock it deep and we throw away the key
And so rejection comes to be me
With the sense of hurt you give and take
Nothing left inside this husk
But the fight that resides inside all of us
Yet when it comes to blows
And everything comes crashing down
So little feels this way
This is not me, this is not my truth
My dreams come with a ball and chain
Tied to the little hope I have
And so we deny
My memories are holding
Until the end
Lifetimes of nothing
Binding me in
Back to the edges where I can breathe
I don't remember
What would it take
Nine stories coming to me
Everyone one is true at namesake
Rage resides inside us all
But we let it fade and we watch it fall away
Until rejection comes to see me
With the same old hurt I’ve come to take
Nothing left behind this mask
But the pride that resides inside all of us
Yet when it comes to blows
And everything comes crashing down
So little feels this way
This is not me, this is not my truth
My dreams come with a ball and chain
Tied to the little hope I have
And so we deny
