Open your eyes and you might see All of the changes made in me I was so blind trying to prove That I was good enough for you No looking back Straight on ahead I'm making sure that life is dead Wasn't the truth Wasn't for real Just what you wanted me to be Watching my life just fade away Lost in your shadow Losing my soul from day to day Lost in your shadow So many times you did me wrong People had told me all along Saw what you wanted me to see I was in chains while you were free No looking back Straight on ahead I'm making sure that life is dead Wasn't the truth Wasn't for real Just what you wanted me to be Watching my life just fade away Lost in your shadow Losing my soul from day to day Lost in your shadow No looking back Straight on ahead I will not look back I'm making sure that life is dead That life is dead Wasn't the truth Wasn't for real Was it all a dream Just what you wanted me to be Wanted me to be Watching my life just fade away Lost in your shadow Losing my soul from day to day Lost in your shadow

Welcome to our slice of heaven Welcome to our world We've got everything you're needing Diamonds, gold and pearls Everything here's for the taking The money never stops Just push 'til your heart is breaking 'Til you reach the top Clocking in, clocking out Watching the money flow Spend it all, then some more Watching your debt grow Credit card, money loan Then do it all again Spend it all, then some more It never ends Cult of greed Living well beyond your means Cult of greed Wanting more than what you need Cult of greed Why you're driven to succeed Cult of greed Stacks of green for all to see Happiness is what we offer For a certain price Give up all your moral values A token sacrifice Work your way right up the ladder 'Til you reach the top Success and money, all that matters You can never stop Clocking in, clocking out Watching the money flow Spend it all, then some more Watching your debt grow Credit card, money loan Then do it all again Spend it all, then some more It never ends Cult of greed Living well beyond your means Cult of greed Wanting more than what you need Cult of greed Why you're driven to succeed Cult of greed Stacks of green for all to see Are you saved I am saved I am saved I am saved Are you saved I am saved I am saved I am saved Clocking in, clocking out Watching the money flow Spend it all, then some more Watching your debt grow Credit card, money loan Then do it all again Spend it all, then some more It never ends Cult of greed Living well beyond your means Cult of greed Wanting more than what you need Cult of greed Why you're driven to succeed Cult of greed Stacks of green for all to see I am saved Are you saved I am saved I am saved I am saved Are you saved I am saved I am saved I am saved Are you saved I am saved I am saved

All I am is washed away A ghost lost in my past All I have is memories And pain I can't outlast Your lies took all that Made me who I am All that I am All that I have Time and time again I took you back into my life Time and time again You cut my soul just like a knife Your lies took all that Made me who I am All that I am All that I have Your lies took all that Made me who I am All that I am All that I have Look inside you Pain inside you Flames inside you Hate inside you Look inside me Pain inside me Flames inside me Screams inside my soul Buried deep inside This living Hell I call my soul The ashes still lie smoldering From betrayal pure and cold Your lies took all that Made me who I am All that I am All that I have Your lies took all that Made me who I am All that I am All that I have This is all I am This is all I am This is all I have This is all I have How you tried to break me How you tried to break me I am what you made me I am what you made me You are all I am You are all I am You are all I have

Wasting my time, crossing the line Feels like everyone's out ta get me Push my buttons like dialing a phone Same old shit to me One step forward and three steps back Corporate ladder crumbles, while I'm climbing Another rat race, caught in the trap I just can't break free I'm living at the point of breaking Not looking for sympathy Life gives and I'm just taking Least I'm alive and free And I wonder why I'm even trying All I get is brought back down Running uphill in a downhill battle Cursed on holy ground Have no luck if it wasn't bad luck At the dock and my ship has sailed Belt's unbuckled on the rollercoaster Seems I'm born to fail I'm living at the point of breaking Not looking for sympathy Life gives and I'm just taking Least I'm alive and free The world will see That it can never break me I'll never break when I can bend The world will see That it will never break me My life is mine until the end The world will see That it can never break me I'll never break when I can bend The world will see That it will never break me My life is mine until the end I'm living at the point of breaking Not looking for sympathy Life gives and I'm just taking Least I'm alive and free The world will see That it can never break me I'll never break when I can bend The world will see That it will never break me My life is mine until the end The world will see That it can never break me I'll never break when I can bend The world will see That it will never break me My life is mine until the end Until the end Until the end Until the end Stop
