Forgiveness

So fucking sick of begging for forgiveness

Playing the victim, always someone's bitch
I know it's wrong, but I'm addicted, and I need my fix
Look in the mirror and don't recognize the face that appears
Now it's clear I've become everything that I fear
The person that I am is not the mask that I hide behind
Tell my darkness it's the end of the line
Broken free of all the chains and all the ties that bind
You no longer have the power here, this life is mine

Tell me how it feels
To look deeply into both my eyes
And see the fire inside
Not a slave to the thoughts of the past
The hole inside of me was vast but I'm free at last
Tell me how it feels
To look deeply into both my eyes
And see the fire inside
I've sweated out all the sickness
'Cause I'm so fucking sick of begging for forgiveness (go)

Living like a cancer, always searching for answers
Never asking any questions and never learning my lesson
No expression of how I felt when I was deep in depression
And all these therapy sessions just made me feel like I was fucked up
It's been the same routine since I was a teen
I would take all of the punches and I would fall to my knees
Feeling like I caused the problems and didn't know how to stop them
Until I woke the fuck up, and I killed the disease

Tell me how it feels
To look deeply into both my eyes
And see the fire inside
Not a slave to the thoughts of the past
The hole inside of me was vast but I'm free at last
Tell me how it feels
To look deeply into both my eyes
And see the fire inside
I've sweated out all the sickness
'Cause I'm so fucking sick of begging for forgiveness

Your past does not define you
Break free of the chains that bind you
Your past is now behind you
The fire is inside you
