Claws

This is not what you wanted To follow in his footsteps How could you be so selfish And self destructive The claws dig in deeper Despite a deepening fear To let go of the weakness To let go of what killed him You knew better Still you became what they said you would Right down to the letter Will you change the outcome it's now or never I'll tell my demons they die today The truth is here, no more hiding I'll find my strength in discipline And fight for the freedom from what lies within This is life abandoned Falling off of the wagon Anxiously awaiting The day the desire escapes me You knew better Still you became what they said you would Right down to the letter Will you change the outcome it's now or never I'll tell my demons they die today The truth is here, no more hiding I'll find my strength in discipline And fight for the freedom from the claws beyond the grave (Lying to yourself) Will you find the courage to move on Will you find the strength to carry on Will you find the courage to move on To take your mind beyond I knew better So I dropped the weight Released the lever and Severed the ties Noticed the clever disguise Beyond the smoke and fire Behind the fog lies a light These eyes of mine look to the skies and cry out I didn't do this for you I didn't do this for you I didn't do this for you I didn't do this for you
