My Life for Hire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Somebody give me a sign That everything's going as planned And then everything falls away Into the darkness of this shallow place The detail is striking, the room's cold and frightening You'll kick and you'll scream, you'll try everything to survive But you should know your fate by now (Know your fate by now) [Pre-Chorus] They told me (They told me) how I should be But I broke the mold somehow [Chorus] It's too late, too late You keep trying to resolve the past right now But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be one) To let the world know what you've done to me (Let the world know what you've done) [Verse 2] You, you know you gotta assert yourself Leave what you need for now It's not the time or place you're searching for (All I can, all I can) All I can give them's my worst of intentions You're nothing to me and everyone can see That your life's a lie, there's nowhere left to hide [Pre-Chorus] They told me (They told me) how I should be But I broke the mold somehow [Chorus] It's too late, too late You keep trying to resolve the past right now But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be one) To let the world know what you've done (Let the world know what you've done) It's too late, too late You keep trying to resolve the past right now But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be one) To let the world know what you've done to me (Let the world know what you've done) [Breakdown] Watch your back You'll lose yourself This is a battleground When will they know? [Pre-Chorus] Your life's a lie [Chorus] It's too late, too late You keep trying to resolve the past right now But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be the one) To let the world know what you've done (Somebody give me a sign) It's too late, too late (That everything's going as planned) You keep trying to resolve the past right now (And then everything falls away) But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be the one) (Into the darkness of this shallow place) To let the world know what you've done (Let the world know what you've done) [Outro] They told me (They told me) how I should be But I broke the mold somehow
