[Intro]
It was over in a matter of seconds
Cause when the blade rises
There’s no fight to be denied
Just swift movements
But even quicker thinking
Just trust in your reactions
And a pain in your heart

[Verse 1]
When disaster strikes
I strike it back
I am the shield, the weapon
Rush ahead, voice clear
Iron will, give up?
Who can?
I stand my ground
I hold my stance
Bring it on, let 'em advance
Even reversed, back against a cliff
I risk my life, lift my sight
A veil exists amidst the righteous
Slipping, I’m falling away from the crowds
Long nights with more longing
Than how long a night could ever feel
Reinvented, I am the wheel
I’m on a roll
Once I start, I cannot stop
I’m out of control
I reel it back
I dial it in
I change myself
Replace my skin
Days in, days out
Think about this
Think about that
Push your thoughts inside my brain
Space to occupy
You sly little *beep*

[Verse 2]
You don’t even try
I was stuck on when
But you always knew why
In a bed of dead roses
Is where I was left to lie
A dead thorn's still sharp to the touch
A bleeding heart doesn’t know not to pump
I was waiting on a new beginning
Endings everywhere had to start forgetting
Missing the point
Probably most
A ghost am I
Hardly show myself
Sew a shirt of uncertainty
I wear it well
Yeah I wear it well
Yeah I wear it well
Oh

[Outro]
It was over in a matter of seconds
