It’s been weighing on my mind
Think about it all the time
And I know that I can’t stay for much longer

I’ve been planning my escape
Last resorts and fail-safes
And the things I leave behind are forever

My time will soon be over
They won’t tear my heart from my chest
Leave nothing behind but the flesh
When they lay me to rest

Is there any saving grace?
Just how will I leave this place?
There are those content to crawl
For any dignity at all
But I’ve got a better way

No more time for suffering now
Leave this all behind

Thorn in my side
Beat me into submission
I won’t participate
I will not wear a mask for you
I will not play this game

I will leave this behind
Only taking what’s mine
There will be no regrets
On the day that lay me to rest
