Peel away my flesh just to know that I'm real
Being a burden was the least of my fears
What has it come to, that I have to ask for my pride

The end is what I've come to
The wrong place at the wrong time


We're staring back at you
Shorthanded, no room for two
Like jealously, it's killing me

How much I see through

Stare into the eyes of misfortune and laugh

You won't be laughing when you're struggling for breath
You may stand tall, but my feet are firm
I'm rooted into my ground, my home, my earth


We're staring back at you
Shorthanded, no room for two

Like jealously, it's killing me
How much I see through


I am unstoppable
Witness the power I bring
Bear with me now, it won't hurt

You are no tyrant
You are no king
No one could forgive you for being you
