Switchback!
Switchback!
Switchback!
I made a choice that I regret,
now what I see is what I get.
It's too late to look back.
it's too late to look back.
Ain't OK, I've got no way to switchback.
Switchback!
Switchback!
Wait, how can it be too late?
'Cause I don't want to play
with such a price to pay.
It's too late to look back.
(Too late to)
Ain't ok, I've got no way to switchback.
A painful picture that I can't forget.
Now what I see is what I get.
It's too late to look back.
I've got no way to switchback.
It's too late to look back.
Ain't OK, I've got no way to switchback.
Switchback!
Switchback!
Wait, how can it be too late?
'Cause I don't want to play
with such a price to pay.
Chained to what I can't reclaim.
I'll never be the same.
It's too late to look back.
(Too late to)
Ain't ok, I've got no way to switchback.
(Have a way to)
It's too late to look back.
(Too late to)
Ain't ok, I've got no way to switchback.
It's too late to look back,
I've got no way to switchback.
It's too late to look back,
I've got no way to switchback.
It's too late to look back,
I've got no way to switchback.
It's too late to look back.
Ain't OK, i've got no way to switchback.
Switchback!
Switchback!
Wait, how can it be too late?
'Cause I don't want to play
with such a price to pay.
Chained to what I can't reclaim.
I'll never be the same.
Will be the same again.
(Have a way to)
It's too late to look back.
(A way to)
Ain't OK, I've got no way to switchback.
(Have a way to)
It's too late to look back.
(Too late to)
Ain't OK, I've got no way to switchback.
I've got no way to switchback,
it's too late to look back.
Too late to look back.
Ain't OK, I've got no way to switchback.

(And everybody) And
Everybody foolin' with their rick rack, and
It's about time we put them on their back
Meaner and leaner, we take up the slack
Klayton and Celldweller with no way to switch back
Cuttin' you up with razor blade
Chokin' you on them words you say
Hittin' you rip-rap on you made
And the Celldweller is unafraid
(Switch back)
(Switch back)
Wait, how can it be too
Late? 'Cause I don't want to
Play with such a price to
Pay
Chained to what I can't
Reclaim, I'll never be the
Same, won't be the same

@elchostomo
I love this song in Andamiro's Pump it up, this is one of my favorite Celldweller songs.
The meaning of the lyrics always remind me about how i secretly want to be with my ex-, she is the best thing that happened in my life.
Thx Klayton for this awesome song.

@gamercheese4203
@L_strangessst_darkne i took on a squad of hunters armed with sniper rifles and knifes and machetes
@gamercheese4203
@L_strangessst_darkne didn't have dodge roll at the time so i hid behind cover while on the roofs that each sniper was on and i shot them with a gun or attacked them with knife gloves
@gamercheese4203
@L_strangessst_darkne i made the knife gloves even though i knew i would get a scratch card from doing it without the combo card
@gamercheese4203
@L_strangessst_darkne i just pefered to make the combo weapons even if i didn't have combo cards for them since they could a lot of damage against bosses
