Not My Blood

Here's my chance to break contract
To exist without the lie
That we'll live to be something
More than feeling deep inside

But I'm worth only numbers
For the bearing of your pride
And I only live to be alive
I only live to be alive

You, you don't know a god damn thing about me
But you still tear out my heart like
You know that everything I have within me is
Just waiting to start again

Here we will conform to
All the faults of the past where
You reap what we sow and
Our ideas aren't ours to have

Someday you'll get what we deserve
The profit you had never earned
Will be the deficit
You cannot comprehend
And as you rake in your return
We'll loathe the lesson never learned
That bottom lines won't ever satisfy demand
For what could have been

You, you don't know a god damn thing about me
You, you don't know a god damn thing about me
(We only live to be alive)
(We only live to be alive)

(We only live to be alive)
Someday you'll get what we deserve
(We only live to be alive)
The profit you had never earned
(We only live)
