It Prevails - Burnt At Both Ends lyrics

rate me

Holdin' hindsight

Terrible decisions & blurred days

Not a care at all back then of the man I'd be today

I dug myself a hole, now the ground's too far to reach, so it seems

I'm done livin' this life of contradiction

It makes me scared to know that I portray my life through words you've read

& what good is yo heart & the words that you say when you're dead?

(I have so much left to give)

I'm wastin' away

Becomin' the person I never wanted to be

& I wont let these things dictate who I am

(I'll be the person that you never had)

And what a world I've woke to

All of you are so far ive been standin' still

Because I had it burnin' at both ends

Burnin' at both ends for far too long

They made me feel alive, they made me feel whole

Now I'm nothin' but alive & far from whole

Walkin' down the wrong roads, time & time again

I've put so much shit into myself, I don't know how I am standin'

I pushed myself from you all

& I have no one else to blame but myself

& this fuckin' empty shell that I am left with

Lies, I've said

I can't take them back, but I can start over

Not sure if I'm proud of the life I've lead

But I am still alive, so I can make a difference

I can make this change
