i've gone too far this time
i've shed too much skin
and i'm bleeding
pushed myself
past the breaking point
so now i must pay the price

exposed so wide open
for everyone to see
i make it known that i am weak
they've got their fingers
pointing at me
they've got their eyes
burning through me

i can do nothing but push on
and i will not quit for them
and i will not decay for them
i am not them
i am not you
