Bullshit and Band-Aids

Verse One:
There was a time
when I was innocent
and growing.

I spent my days and nights
in my own world
unknowing.

That soon my life
would take a fall.
Come closer to ending it all,
And all these days
I've wasted left
nothing for showing.

Chorus:
I'm holding on
to everything I
used to know now.

This time
I've gotta be strong.
For every part of me
will come to know how
I can't let things go.

Verse Two:
Then came a time
when I was broken
and unfolding.

I spent my nights and days
in darkness
slowly closing.

I had my life
against a wall.
One more step left to end it all,
And every day
was wasted fighting
through the mourning.

Chorus:
I'm holding on
to everything I
used to know now.

This time
I've gotta be strong.
For every part of me
will come to know how
I can't let things go.

Bridge:
It never was so simple.
I never was complex.
You thought you could see through me
and look on to the next.
Next victim. Your lamb.
I've seen you. I demand the truth.
No more bullshit and band-aids...

Verse Three:
This is the time
I take a stand
and stop pretending.

I spent my every
waking moment
understanding.

But now my life
is picking up.
Tonight your karma brings bad luck,
And all the days
that I've got left
are mine for owning.

Ending Chorus:
Cause I was holding on
to everything I
used to know now.

This time
I'm gonna be strong.
Now every part of me
has got to know...

I'm letting it all go.
Just... Go.
