Frozen in a frame of time
My state of mind is going blind
From staring out to see the light
Beyond my recognition
This is the way it's always been
A bastard child that's almost kin
I never had the faith that this
Was my product to start off with

Now you've taken the role as a leech
As we speak, you're feeding off of me
Though it could also be
A sense of reliance and defiance
A cocktail of many things that in turn poison me

Wait 'til you hear what I've done
I've caused a storm to destroy everything that I have become
Well, I was looking forward to my life
Looking forward to survive
Looking forward to shake off this dead skin that's been plaguing me

For so long
I'm in love with adversity
Yeah, I'm in love with defeat
Just tie the knot, but don't sign the pre-nup
You've been taking this way overboard

These days we know
They're so far away, so far away
These nights remain
But I'll just fade away, I'll fade away

Same old story that I've heard
The only one that I've preferred
is written somewhere that decides
The future steps I'm taking
This could my prerogative
For wasting time in all these things
I'm standing still, I'm fruitless as I'm following desire

Now you've taken the role as leech

Wait 'til you hear what I've done
I've caused a storm to destroy everything that I have become
Well, I was looking forward to my life
Looking forward to survive
Looking forward to shake off this dead skin that's been plaguing me

For so long
I'm in love with adversity
Yeah, I'm in love with defeat
Just leave me here, to sit and think
of all of the things that I've done wrong

These days we know
They're so far away, so far away
These nights remain
But I'll just fade away, I'll fade away
