My mind erodes like the paint

Faded out by the sun

Showing no restraint

When I descend in emotions

I push hard the envelope

With the change of the wind

I've lost all shred of hope

Still, I stand up again

My heart is the fire

I need to get my guard up

Ride it down to the wire

Got to prove that I'm tough

Hanging on to what's next

Letting go of what was

Get it all off my chest

Knockin' down the facades

Gonna start me a war

Wind it up and lets go

That's what we're here for

Stick around for the show
