the will to power
If you didn't take, you would still change
There's no way in hell someone could be the same
If you hadn't done this, then you would've done that
So believe me, there's no going back
And who's to say where we would be
If we'd done something different or not so easy
But if we didn't give in, become jaded by sin
We still wouldn't be where we'd been
'Cause the future leads on like a line
There's no circling back to earlier time
But you can change yourself here, you can change yourself now
I know that you can find your way out
The way forward's never been clear
But there's comfort in knowing it's only up from here
Still it scares me some ways, choosing your own way
There's a happiness in being a slave
But I'll never make the same mistake
By letting a relationship fade away
I wasn't much a friend, wasn't much of a fuck
Consequently I ran out of luck
And I messed it up
She doesn't need me
When she's found meaning
There's someone else to keep her well
There's nothing here for me to tell
I used to lack faith in soul mates
However I've found out they're real as this love that I taste
But though they are fact, and though they exist
Sometimes they're not who you end up with
'Cause I met a girl who's so pretty
But she lives far away and is distant from me
I've seen that she bleeds 'cause she just doesn't see
So I'd give everything to mirror her beauty
But still she picks herself apart
It hurts me to see and it shatters my heart
Her vices sweat mine, like Sugar and wine
As we both drink this turpentine
So I want to sew my mouth shut
I know I for one have had more than enough
And the relapse starts subtle before it gets long
Before you know, it's become strong
Change is difficult to stick
We've been trying so hard but it comes off like shit
But it's better than just letting it waste away
Everything that we want saved
Yeah, it's still not too late
Now we're just trying to fill life up
Passing the time with various loves
Like a run-on sentence that leaves you out of breath
You're not sure where it is headed
But we're free 'til the day that we die
Only a slave 'til we're ready to try
I don't exaggerate the words that I speak
Take it with pillars of salt vast as the sea
So you can be happy
In your slavery
Or you can pave your way to a better day
It's never too late to escape
it's never too late to escape
There's no way in hell someone could be the same
If you hadn't done this, then you would've done that
So believe me, there's no going back
And who's to say where we would be
