lyrics

You had your hands around my neck,
It's about time that you left me for dead.
You know, it's liberating
not having you judge my every move.

I am in my darkest hour,
Maybe I was born to suffer.
Death and I go hand in hand,
You'll never see the light of day again.
There's not enough room here for the two of us.
For you this will be a one way trip.

The days of following you blindly are over,
I do not call to you, I'll never bow to you.

I will disregard everything
That I've been taught all of my life.
Actions speak louder than words,
And I won't go out without a fight.

You may win the battle,
But I will win the war.

You're just a shadow of your former self.
You are not the one I knew,
You're the embodiment of something else.

The days of following you blindly are over,
I do not call to you, I'll never bow to you. (x2)

And in my darkest hour,
I guess I was made to suffer.
Death and I go hand in hand,
My life is now free without you.
