Landmines
Stray from the Path Lyrics

It's time, it's time to say good bye
It's time to leave this toxic relationship behind

I'm not staying here, I'm not staying
I refuse to be trapped in your lies and manipulation anymore

While you're waiting, I'm gonna live my life
I won't wait around for you to change, I'm going to seize the day

You've built this prison and the clock is ticking
Your words and actions have trapped me, and time is running out

We're all dying?
Is there any hope for us to live a fulfilling life?

No, we're already dead
Our spirits have already been crushed by the weight of this relationship

I haven't breathed since the first time you said
Your promises and apologies have suffocated me from the beginning

"I'm gonna change (I'm gonna change)
You have promised to change, but it's an empty promise

But every time we talk I still hear you say
You still have not changed despite your promises

"I know that I'm better"
You believe that you are already better than me

Yeah, well that's not enough, you say
Your words don't mean anything unless you take action

"I'll try to be better"
You still refuse to take full responsibility for your past actions

Yeah, well show me what's up
Actions speak louder than words, and I need to see you make a real effort to change

Because the clock is ticking, it's ticking today
Time is running out, and you need to make a change now

Coming closer and closer to throwing your life away
If you don't change your ways, you will ruin your own life and potentially others'

I've escaped this prison
I have finally broken free from your hold on me

Now the clock's hands are mine
I am now in control of my own time and future

I can see the sun rise
I am filled with hope and optimism for my new future

Yeah I'm doing fine
I am doing better now that I am out of your grasp

Doing fine like I walked on land mine
I have been hurt and scarred by this experience, but I am still standing

I wanna scream like the day I was born
I want to express myself fully without fear or restriction

Gonna start making changes, I'm not sorry anymore (I'm not sorry)
I am going to take control of my life and make the changes I need to succeed, and I will not feel guilty for it

And yeah I've failed before
I have made mistakes in the past, but I am still trying to grow and learn

But you can see me die trying, never scared of being poor
I am willing to work hard and persevere towards my goals no matter the cost or risk

Never bent for the rich, never gave a shit
I will not let money or power influence my decisions or morals

When will you listen to this?
When will you finally understand the pain you have caused me and take responsibility?

You say you have all you need
You claim to have everything figured out and don't need to change

But you're losing it all
Your lack of self-awareness and unwillingness to change is ruining your life and relationships

And I refuse to be the one
I will not be the one to clean up the mess you have made for yourself

That's gonna watch you fall
I will not stand by and watch you self-destruct any longer

It's time, it's time to live your life
It's time to take control of your own life and make the changes you need to succeed

'Cause the world's not waiting
You can't just sit around and wait for things to get better, you need to take action now
