And this is what I get
And this is what I get
For all the times that I've tried to give up and quit

And this is what I get
And this is what I get
For all the times that I've tried to give up and quit
But I still just pretend that I've kept
Every moment frozen in the shadows of my breath
This is my consequence

I've got a burden on my shoulders
And I can't let it cross any further
Into my thoughts where it shouldn't fall
But it drops, then it stalls
Until it crawls into my chest where it sets
And eats every piece of my consciousness
Until my arms and wrists buckle from all the stress
I've endured within
And this is what I get
For all the times that I've tried to give up and quit
But I still just pretend
That I've kept every moment frozen in the shadows of my breath
So my chest condenses every time I'm breathing in the stress
It upsets me further to the point where I'm hurting
And surely it'll come to the point where I explode and let go
Of every emotion I bottled up into my throat
And I can't even cope with the anger
I'm aiming this pistol at my face
Looking at the barrel in case
I'm willing to waste myself in a rage

And this is what I get
And this is what I get
For all the times that I've tried to give up and quit
But I still just pretend that I've kept
Every moment frozen in the shadows of my breath
This is my consequence
And this is what I get
And this is what I get
For all the times that I've tried to give up and quit
But I still just pretend that I've kept
Every moment frozen in the shadows of my breath
This is my consequence

And so I pretend that I can't give up and quit
That I can't begin my life again with no regrets
But I make the attempt and drown my faith in a mix of anger
And maybe I'll let go of this rage that makes me angry
The same thing that I feel when I'm thinking
I'm too real to be sinking
Cause I bullied ever cock sucker on the block
And it got to the point I was good at calling the shots
When it dropped into my lap and it happens so fast
That the average man couldn't understand what had happen
Like it slipped through my hands
Cause I'm too involved to let it fall to the floor
And let it go out the door
Cause it means more to me than anything in the world
So I sit in a curled position
With everyone just ripping my ligaments out of position
Cause I can't quit this life that I'm living

And this is what I get
And this is what I get
For all the times that I've tried to give up and quit
But I still just pretend that I've kept
Every moment frozen in the shadows of my breath
This is my consequence
And this is what I get
And this is what I get
For all the times that I've tried to give up and quit
But I still just pretend that I've kept
Every moment frozen in the shadows of my breath
This is my consequence
