Talk Back

(album: Lost And Losing It - 2017)

Life's all about the choices we make
Good or bad, right or wrong, but make no mistake
There's always something talking to you

A voice inside your head with intentions not always true
It might be telling you you can do it
Put your strength in you and faith in you and bear through it
You only live one life so stay ahead
Be strong and do what's best for you because soon you'll be dead

But what then, it seems so pointless
The short life when the end is meaningless
Unless I'm here for a reason and just lost focus
Maybe I'm not here for me and to realize that will set me free

Every morning I get up, begin for the day
As I step on your face I try to erase
All the thoughts that you put inside my mind
You're so unkind using me
I was poisoning the herds, poisoning with words
Poisoning her mind
As you try to unbind
Know that you'll fail, because you fail
And I can tell that you're boiling over now
Is that a threat, oh yeah I bet
But I will stand no matter how
You come at me, now I can see
What you can do I'm onto you
I'm in his hand so understand this relationship is through
I'm no longer bound by you

I've listened to you for so many years
So far it's cost me a family and thousands of tears
What a mistake waking up a soldier
I've learned my lessons embracing wisdom as I get older
I only get stronger I don't rely on myself
Those lies you fed to me I won't listen to anything else
I own up and I take responsibility
As I live through it everyday it's killing more of me

But what now it ain't so pointless
Our bodies fail I'm passing this test
I'm here for a reason and just lost focus
I'm learning how to counter your attacks
You talk to me I'm talking back

Every morning I get up, begin for the day
As I step on your face, I try to erase
All the thoughts that you put inside my mind
You're so unkind using me
I was poisoning the herds, poisoning with words
Poisoning her mind
As you try to unbind
Know that you'll fail, because you fail
And I can tell that you're boiling over now
Is that a threat, oh yeah I bet
That I will stand no matter how you come at me
Now I can see what you can do I'm onto you
I'm in his hands, so understand that this relationship is through
I'm no longer bound by you

You're rather predictable and quite despicable
As clarity's setting in
I know that we will win

Every morning I get up, begin for the day
As I step on your face, I try to erase
All the thoughts that you put inside my mind
You're so unkind using me
I was poisoning the herds, poisoning with words
Poisoning her mind
As you try to unbind
Know that you'll fail, because you fail
And I can tell that you're boiling over now
Is that a threat, oh yeah I bet
That I will stand no matter how you come at me
Now I can see what you can do I'm onto you
I'm in his hands, so understand that this relationship is throu
