Prelude
8-break Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's nowhere left for you to turn
All of your bridges have been burned
Hurry up
Time's wasting
Come on face me
You've already taken a huge fall but stand up
So I can fucking knock you back down again
You can only make it so far by building your foundation off of hate and greed
Are you happy with the life you lead?
