Understanding Lyrics


How people tell you lies
i thought you felt the same
somehow he thought you’d be there
help him beat me down, again
it’s all i know

So you want for me
some things we never see
left alone to fill time

So empty all your thoughts now
turn around your hate
take a look at me, hang on security

It’s something overrated
this life you live, it’s not your own
there’s no one here to help you

It’s all been un-adulterated lies
they’ll keep telling you
they’ll keep telling you

How i wanna raise
everything is on my own
nothing special lately, nothing special maybe
time to feel it on your own
time you want to take control

So you told them all
i thought you looked the same
so you need this light to help you
see it clearer again

Closer to my letter
open up for some to breed
you’re sharper these days, roll on security

It’s all been overrated
this life to live, it’s not your own
there’s no one here to help you

It’s all been unadulterated lies
they’ll keep telling you
they’ll keep telling you

How i wanna raise
everything is on my own
nothing special lately
nothing special maybe
time to feel it on your own
time you want to take control
no, no, now fall, call for me to fall for
everybody wants to tell you something
everybody wants to fill you nothing
everybody wants to break you out now
everybody wants to take you out now
and everybody wants to tell you
and everybody wants to fill you in

Do you think it’s time to tell them?
yes i think it’s time
you shoved them a little harder
yes i think it’s time


you pushed them over
don’t you think it’s time you told them stop

Raise it on my own no, no
time to feel your soulless lately
everybody wants to tell you something
everybody wants to bring you something
and everybody wants to take you
and everybody wants to bring you down
time to feel it on you
time to let them take control
time to feel their needs
so empty all your thoughts my friends
for everybody wants to break you
and everybody wants to push you around
