And maybe I could say it's the last time But maybe I could say that I'm scared Another melody of somebody's story I'll finally admit, I don't care It's been years and I can feel the end is near 'Cause I'm burnt out and I'm mangled Ready to wake up from this nightmare Wake me up Before I close the book, I always flip to the start I'm just tryna get a look of why I'm sick of the art It all began with a spark But the power, fame, dollars and change took the charge Made me less than its parts I didn't want it this way I used to long for this day Yeah, sure, the money was great But sucked me into this phase And now the dream that I was chasing seems to chain me in place 'Cause this game, it just takes and it takes and it takes Will I rot away? And if I say what's on my mind Will they all leave me behind? I thought I was safe Thought that I'd see brighter days Was I a shadow meant to fade all along? Did I lose my way from pretending? Another suit without a soul So many years, I thought it was ending But it opened up and swallowed me whole No happy ending will rise and show themselves So I gotta reach out and write an ending, an ending for myself Before I close the book, I always skip to the end See, will I ever fall in love with making music again? Or did I give up all my passion and friends to run a factory line That'll just replace when I finally left? Yeah Wanna know the day I knew nobody pray for me? The day somebody told me: This your legacy This is what you'll say to be, unless you make a break 'Cause this game, it just takes and it takes and it takes It's been years There ain't nothing for me here I was broken and alone But now I'm home Will I rot away? And If I say what's on my mind Will they all leave me behind? I thought I was safe Thought that I'd see brighter days Was I a shadow meant to fade all along? Will I rot away? If I stand up and say Say what plagues my mind Will they leave me Will you leave me behind?
