The Air I Breathe – So Here Lies Inspiration lyrics

I will not live my life as a lie
They try to rebuild me, but
I will not live my life as a lie
They can't reinvent me

So brace yourself because it's only the beginning,
Though battered bones have been through more than any should
It's not my fault that this world is so unforgiving
It goes to show that I never had a chance

This fragile mind is trying to make the best of what's torn,
It's this we try to hide

We can not stray from every broken promise
We've been betrayed by those who bear our name

Why must we pay for their mistakes

I will not live my life as a lie
They try to rebuild me, but
I will not live my life as a lie
They can't reinvent me

These broken hands make broken things and
I can not be what you wanted me to be
So write me off as just another failure
I'm sorry but your ink wont justify me

We can not stray from every broken promise
We've been betrayed by those who bear our name

I spend nights in search of any light, but I
I walk in shadows
Pleading eyes beg for the sun to rise once more
Forever shadows

I try to take control,
But I can't shake sorrow
If deaths cold grip should take it's hold
Then mark my grave unknown

It's said to live life with a heart of gold,
But a heart of stone is all I really have to show
And if I'm not the only one in this world
Then tell me why do I feel so damn alone

I can't live like this forever
We need to find a better way
I can't live like this forever
We need to find a better way
