Devium - My Retribution

There comes a day when you realize you are nothing you wanted to be,
well, that time is now. Will you lie back down, or rise UP?

Its not the life I'm meant to live
Used by all I have called a friend
How can I turn my cheek again?
No love of self my greatest sin

Nothing more than lies
in a decaying mind
breeds unwilling lives
I see it now

Too many times
we throw away life
never to rise
I was

Fighting for nothing
Living a lie
All because
I gave up the fight

Chorus
I am not
The one you want me to be
I will not
Lie down for you again
I can not
See all you've taken from me
I will not
Let you win

Now rise up

That way of life is done for me
New confidence now takes the lead
Blood clenched fists for all to see
Retribution set me free

Nothing more than lies
in a decaying mind
breeds unwilling lives
I see it now

Too many times
we throw away life
never to rise
I was…

cuz’ I hated myself

I am not
I can not

Its not the life I'm meant to live
I will not
Use by all I've called a friend
I can not
How can I turn my cheek again?
I will not
No love of self my greatest sin

Fighting for nothing
Living a lie
all because
of you
