It feels like I only go backwards, lately

Every part of me says: Go ahead

I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again

Feels like we only go backwards darling

And we'll be screamin' out no rules, no rules

Feel the energy we go through, I told you

Pump my fist like I'm supposed to, I showed you

My vision of the unsocial, it's so cool

Look around me and you'll see the scene, who to blame?

See my generation has no shame, I play the game

How I see it this is inside the future, this is nothin' that you're used to

I refuse to play the victim, my religion is to move ya

Out your power position, my army head-on collision

Can't harm me out of my own skin, government need assistance

Every time that I zone in, nothing is more convincin'

Than tellin' you that I won't bend, break or fake partition

I can't, this is my life design, this is me taking minds

This is what I live for, this is me takin' yours

This is more than C4, this is what happens when

We ready to build and destroy, I hope that you enjoy

It feels like I only go backwards, lately

Every part of me says go ahead

I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again

Feels like we only go backwards darling

I live my life a rebel, a vigilante, devils try to get at me

Pedal through this underworld, undertakers won't catch me

System ain't no system for justice if you would ask me

I'll tell you everything is corrupted, don't you walk past me

With the condescended look I can tell you're pretendin'

Like you my friends and you just a henchman, I feel relentless

I feel the tension in the air thick enough to cut through it

Or cut you with it I'm cut from a cloth that bred a nuisance

Trespass on your property I am properly aimin' to go against ya democracy

This is me changing faces cause I can stand alone and die alone as long as I got pride

The victory of fight is all in my eyes

The night is young and I can see your demise, I'm waitin' for it

You can't ignore it, you live dormant, I die enormous

Big as the lies you tell I can tell you feel defeated

The truth will set you free and to me that's the only reason, capisce?

It feels like I only go backwards, lately

Every part of me says go ahead

I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again

Feels like we only go backwards darling
