All That I Am

All that I am
All that I ever was
All I could be
Was taken from me

Broken and scattered, playing with my life
Freedom and solace, you cut with a knife
Fighting and pushing, we're close to the edge
Your message is clear, we will not pledge

You can't inspire hope, cos there's no hope left for man
We're bred to destroy, from the womb we're all damned

I've lost, myself
Not ready to say goodbye
But not ready to abide

Chained to the promise, of what we don't own
A world built on greed, that won't be overthrown
Scratching and pulling, we're over the edge
The message was clear, but we will not pledge

No retribution for liars and cheaters
No glory for those that which deceive us
Each says it's different, each says it's better
Yet why does neither ever bring us together

[Chorus]
