At Lightspeed

I was never one to make the same mistake twice

I was never one to wait and waste my life.

But, sometimes you slip up

Sometimes you think too much

And when i started second guessing every lesson i had learned

It was turning to obsession when i heard their words

They said, you can't change the world

No, you can't change the world

I'd got to stop before i dropped the ball

Before i lost face and then i lost it all

In retrospect i regret that i meant it

But never again because i can't take this

[chorus]

If you build it up,

I will break it down,

You can't change the world

And i can't take this

Come on, you can't run

Come on, you can't hide

I can't change the world

But i don't need this

[/chorus]

[chorus]

Reliving the past,

Thats where i excel

Regretting, forgetting it

And i will burn in hell

Sometimes, lifes too slow

Sometimes you can't let go

I was beginning to think,

That i preferred what i heard,

Echoing in my head again and,

I heard their words, they said,

You can't change the world,

No, you can't change the world,

I'd got to stop before i took the bait

Before i lost face it and i've felt the weight of the world,

Dragging me into this abyss but

Never again because i don't need this,

[chorus]

[chorus]

(i can't take this)

(i can't take this)

(i can't take this)

(i can't take this!)

(i can't take this!)

(i can't take this!)

(i can't take this!)

(i can't take this!)

Everything i've ever believed or attempted,

Just disintegrated into hypothetical thought and

Everything i've ever had an incentive for,

May just as well have never been born, and,

Everything that anyone ever achieved,

Will be remembered as nothing more than what if?

And everytime i listened by myself i will hear

The words you can't change the world and,

I'll scream back to them,

I can't take this!
