Say goodnight, young dagger
Have the years been kind to you, yeah?
Or have they left you vacant
With so much left to prove
It should be none of your concern
But the pain has been lifted away
Fatally, eternally
Overcome and overthrow
The blood that swelled your tainted lips now drip to the floor
So dry your eyes before you cry another river
And breath by breath I'll rise to keep your flood away from me
Away from me
I'll damn your flood away from me
Only out of spite I must
I will throw you away
Always, I'll fight off your grip on my existence, now
I won't feel sorry for this spitting in the eye
Sending seizures through your frozen veins
There is no giving into you
It took a lifetime to forget your name
I swallowed everything you said
Exhale the poison that dwells within your soul
Stand up for myself
Drown by yourself
Stand up for myself
Drown by yourself
Say goodnight, young dagger
Have the years been kind to you?
Or have they left you vacant
With so much left to prove
It should be none of your concern
But the pain has been lifted away
Fatally, eternally
Overcome and overthrow
The blood that swelled your tainted lips now drip to the floor
So dry your eyes before you cry another river
And breath by breath I'll rise to keep your flood away from me
Away from me
I'll damn your flood away from me
Only out of spite I must
I will throw you away
Always, I'll fight off your grip on my existence, now
There is no giving into you
It took a lifetime to forget your name
I swallowed everything you said
Exhale the poison that dwells within your soul
Stand up for myself
Drown by yourself
Stand up for myself
Drown by yourself
Drown by yourself
Stand up for myself
Drown by yourself
