I Am My Own Invention (Tauscher.0)

Hold me, please, I can't shake these tremors in my bones.
No feeling is worse than knowing you're completely alone.
And they found me in the alley,
Painting black roses on my body.

And I'm taking the long way home tonight,
and I'll take it one step at a time
down the streets that try to hide.
(Are you out there? Do you even care?)

I've been wandering my entire life,
Searching for something I can't find.
It's like falling ashes in my mind.
(I'm searching for something I can't find.)

Our pain looks better when the ink hits the paper.
Revolt repent don't repeat the words from the mouth of a serpent.
Your shame, doesn't make you any less of a stranger.
Hate resent even when they deserved it.

The kings and queens are bastard fiends.
This is a revolution.
We're living evolution.

This is our vision.
We can change the world if you'd just listen

Everything that you wanted me to be I'm not,
I'm just trying to understand everything I've become but I'm
not sure I want to know.

And I'm taking the long way home tonight,
and I'll take it one step at a time
down the streets that try to hide.

I've been wandering my entire life,
Searching for something I can't find.
It's like falling ashes in my mind.
(I'm searching for something I can't find.)

Slow it down and cut the dead weight.
Fight with me and you won't die on your knees.
Slow it down and cut the dead weight.
Fight with me if you won't die for free.

Get up! get up! get up!

I said slow it down, and cut the dead weight.
I live a life of vision.
I am my own invention.
Slow it down and cut the dead weight.

And they found me in the alley,
Painting black roses on my body.

And I'm taking the long way home tonight,
and I'll take it one step at a time
down the streets that try to hide.
(Are you out there? Do you even care?)

I've been wandering my entire life,
Searching for something I can't find.
It's like falling ashes in my mind.
(I'm searching for something I can't find.)
