  • Until the pages of this book are filled with emptiness
    I'm still suspended by a thread
    Expecting nothing less
    I feel my kindred little ways
    I know how my story ends

    Like me
    It's not your gift to choose
    I know you're going to lose
    Like me
    This futile circumstance
    You never had a chance, like me

    I'm here walking in a city that is red again
    I'm here living with the dead again
    Knowing why I'm here again

    Like me, oh, it's not your gift to choose
    I know you're going to lose
    Like me
    Oh, this futile circumstance
    You never had a chance, like me
    Like me, like me, like me

    I can stay here forever
    The hell is, I just can't remember
    I see myself with desperation
    This silent night of realization

    I fall, I fall

    Like me, oh, it's not your gift to choose
    I know you're going to lose
    Like me, oh, this futile circumstance
    You never had a chance, like me Writer/s: COREY TAYLOR, JAMES ROOT, JOSH RAND, ROY MAYORGA
