Swallow This Pride

Let's see who gets the last laugh when I'm the one biting the bullets.

We'll find what it means when I break the mold.

If it brings a reason, I'll respond.

If it brings me death, I'll play the game.

I'll play along.

Hand me what I need to live while I hand you my life.

Proud, but yet, what should I take pride in?

In the name of...

So much of everything is nothing when you walk down this line.

I must learn to swallow,

I must learn to swallow this pride.

The reason why?

I abandon this lonely shell of life.

I see what I've done,

I feel the pain, arms around my head,

To suffocate the thoughts,

Arms around my head...

Wear it around my arm,

Pinned on my sleeve,

Symbolize the lives lost when I was such a...

It's time to forget,

To let icons be icons,

But in this mind, I must keep what I took.

I took too much.

I see what I've taken.

Look at this face of death and tell me what you see, everlasting.

I want no longer to wait to see what I've done.

I feel the pain.

Don't stop me, don't break me,

I am guilty.
