We're just the work of watered down blood
I don't owe you any explanation.
In this room I don't sleep at night,
Am I just wasting my time?
Make your magic, you say you have it
Give it to me, yeah, I wanna have at it.
Wanted to be free, it's not so easy
Are you alive in me?
Picture a light that lurks,
A secret in the dirt,
A book that doesn't read like the stories you've heard.
It keeps slipping away, but I won't let go
Just take all you can take, and I won't let go
Oh Aggressor
True Contender
Keep on calling, I'll keep running
Just call my name
How long do you have to wait 'til it dissipates?
Take it as your wake up call, you are unchained
Seems like, the more I believe the more I am deceived
But break all you can break,
And I won't let go.
Oh Aggressor
True Contender
Keep on calling, I'll keep running
Just call my name,
Before I lose all my might
Keep on calling, just keep calling
Just call my name.
No matter what they say, keep watching over me
No matter how it hurts, you know I'll make it work,
And in the dark I see, you are the light in me
And as we break the dawn,
Is this all I want?
Oh Aggressor
True Contender
Keep on calling, I'll keep running
Just call my name,
Before I lose all my might
Keep on calling, just keep calling
Just call my name.
