[Only I Remain]

Painting our own lives
Sketching our own demise
Reading all our lies
Coloring all our cries

[Erasing broken lives]
[Wrestling my demise]
[Accepting all the lies]
[Choosing not to cry]

Destroying our own hopes
Applying our dying rope
Believing we should mope
Scared we'll never cope

[Building my own hope]
[Cutting down the rope]
[Influenced not to mope]
[Confident I will cope]

Dreaming our own fate
Creating our own bait
Determining our weight
Building our own gate

[Fighting my chosen fate]
[Distracting from the bait]
[Shoulders releasing weight]
[Destroying my own gate]

Planning all our pain
Producing all the rain
Enclosing our domain
Deciding what remains

[Arguing with the pain]
[Shielding from the rain]
[Disengaging this domain]
[Only I remain]
