privilege of living

will sleep

blow me away

scenes far below are in flames

my big excuse

had you on your knees

trace away those times

when you barely breathe

wake up

connect

i am in a place

can you hear me screaming to the cool kids

"no one's gonna tear me down"

thrown in all directions

because some things don't change

why am i happy

when i've lost my will

the whole of my heart

takes over

i clutch my decision

till it snaps

i'm stuck

and no one can wake me up inside

it's real

when the day i knew you'd leave

becomes crying and goodbyes

here i am

time stands still

see into my spirit

but watch me walk alone

i am haunted

by the privilege of living
