Life on Life's Terms

So you were warned that life would never treat us fair
Still you let it build you up and knock you off your square
It's polarizing to think of all we've done
Wretched survivors - all those things that we've become
To use and hide and steal or sleep to just get by
Once this thing inside me dies I'll stop the lies

Gone against the grain
There's still much to gain
Learn to cope with pain
When you're living life on life's terms
Giving into rage
Please don't disengage
We need a state of change
When you're living life on life's terms

This grand charade may come to you as no surprise
My mask, my armor, all defenses compromised
Ecstasy
But I don't wanna need it
Destiny
Another tragic play
When did I become the prey?
I'll keep on going til there's nothing left to save
I'll flirt with death until my early grave

Gone against the grain
There's still much to gain
Learn to cope with pain
When you're living life on life's terms
Giving into rage
Please don't disengage
We need a state of change
When you're living life on life's terms

Reflecting now to find out where that I've gone wrong
Resisting change - I've run away for far too long
Apathy
From all the others
Serenity
Give me another chance
Despite the circumstance
I'll practice patience and surrender my control
I'll try anything once just to save my soul

Gone against the grain
There's still much to gain
Learn to cope with pain
When you're living life on life's terms
Giving into rage
Please don't disengage
We need a state of change
When you're living life on life's terms
