I've got my scars to bare
Stitches just can't repair, woah
There's no one to blame this time
Absolution's waiting on the prayer
I'm breaking down the walls
Bailing my share of falls, woah
This blood on my hands is a blessing
In a lifetime, twisted by design
(But I'm so alive)
Is it a threat? Or the cure?
Cause It's a brand new world
I don't know if I'm ready for
Just to test
Cause I'm miles up above you
Flying with no safety net
I don't believe in fate
Although this time
I think I've met my match
Why are the dreams so hard to catch?
'Cause if you get in time
What it feels inside
We live right on the line
(But I'm so alive)
They say believing is the hardest part
What I say with every beat of my heart
I alone will find my way
And get right back to the start
They say the fire in your heart is gone
What I say it's really only just begun
All I know you know that I am
I'm twisted by design
I'm twisted by design
Taking the days as they come
But now I'm seeing the world
As if it had a thousand sounds
I admit
That they're somewhere along the lines
I guess I lost my grip
But luck has turned the page
And time is all I need to get things right
One more chance to catch the light
'Cause you forget in time
What it feels inside
We live right on the line
(But I'm so alive)
They say believing is the hardest part
What I say with every beat of my heart
I alone will find my way
And get right back to the start
They say the fire in your heart is gone
What I say it's really only just begun
All I know you know that I am
I'm twisted by design
I'm twisted by design
Starting over again
But the further I get
I can't stop
These walls from closing in
Going out of my head
All the tears that I bled
They're not enough
To take my pain away
They say believing is the hardest part
What I say with every beat of my heart
I alone will find my way
And get right back to the start
They say the fire in your heart is gone
What I say it's really only just begun
All I know you know that I am
I'm twisted by design
In some ways I've changed
And I've left it all behind
But I can't change the way
That I'm twisted by design
