lyrics

What you want and what you need
Should never supersede whatever you believe
Cause I was left a broken home
With nowhere else to go
Forever
The end
Alone

Cause I am nothing but hellbent
I'm out of element
And feeling like a wretch
Cause we are drawn by temp of greed
To be one of the free
Whatever that may mean

Now we do what we want whether right or wrong
Just to bring a little life to these old dry bones
Just to have a little piece of what could be gold
Just to be something else and to break the mold

Draw the line
Redefine
It keeps us alive on the inside
Hold the truth and we will shine the way
To a greater frame of mind

You can find me waiting
Over here on the bright side
Where it's all for the taking
Yeah you'll never be denied

You can find me waiting
Over here on the bright side
Where it's all what you make it
Yeah a greater frame of mind

Draw the line
Redefine
It keeps us alive on the inside
Hold the truth and we will shine the way
To a greater frame of mind
