Taking Everything

This fever on my mind / i'm burning down inside
My luck may never change / or so it seems that way
I know in seven years / this curse will disappear
Where has my ladder gone? i feel like i've been robbed
In taking everything from me now
I'm making over what i hoped to be, i know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me now
You take my license plates / you've taken everything
The place where i belong / you take all my songs
You've taken what i wanted / the few things that i kept
I turned around to help someone / and then you helped yourself
In taking everything from me now
I'm making over what i hoped to be, i know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me now
So take away the skin / you scratch until you win
And in this lottery / what is the prize for me?
I'd give you anything / but i can't match this happiness
What's right or wrong / where do i belong?
In taking everything from me now
I'm making over what i hoped to be, i know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me now
Where has my ladder gone? you take all my songs
Where do i belong?
In taking everything from me
