My life   charred remains of a flame that's burned out   my lips move but they won't make a sound   I stand motionless, eyes to the ground   back for more   with reopened scars i remain   battered savagely, knees start to shake   I just stand there, I take it, I wait   I'm just waiting for time to erase   and the world to change   until then I will strive for nothing more   I'll just wait for my heart to break   and arise from ash, reborn   look at me   cut my eye and allow me to see   what my life has become on my knees   I hear the screams, I watch myself bleed   but ? can't feel a thing   what am I   but a victim unwilling to rise   wretched shell of a man and his pride   why stop living, I'm just waiting to die   my life it's so familiar   why lie when everything's the same   but who am I, and what am I waiting for anyway   and I will die waiting to be reborn...
