Lyrics

All of my senses
At war with my desires
Picking up pieces
Of the life I left behind

Was it by instinct
Was it by design
These are my limits
Giving in to my foolish pride

Now I can’t
I can’t

Who am I kidding
Who am I doing this for
Is this all I’m asking
Give me room to breathe some more

Now I can’t
I can’t

Page by page
And word by word
How every hour just seems too long
Punch by punch
And kick by kick
I need your voice to make me strong
Innocence should not be taxed
Your word is nothing in the now
There is no time to relax
Adjust yourself for what’s to come

Digging up roses
Digging up the past
Making excuses
For the time I can’t get back
Lying comes easy
To the mirror everytime
Can I be honest
To myself at least just once
Page by page
And word by word
How every hour just seems too long

Punch by punch
And cut by cut
I need your voice to make me strong
Innocence should not be taxed
Your word is nothing in the now
There is no time to relax
Adjust yourself for what’s to come
Page by page
And word by word
How every hour just seems too long

Punch by punch
And kick by kick
I need your voice to make me strong
Innocence should not be taxed
Your word is nothing in the now
There is no time to relax
Adjust yourself for what’s to come
