Exorcise the demon that is living up inside you
After all you think you've been through
Just what have you been through?
Try to get beside yourself, this tearing at your insides
And you end up on the wrong side, always standing so strong
Sharpen up your teeth
Your dreams are more than worth defending
In a fight that's never ending, go on
Go ahead and prove me wrong
[Chorus]
The further you go, the less you know
You're born to quit; you've blown it
(you've blown it)
You need to let go, of letting go
You're full of shit; you're born to quit
Something supernatural, it seems it could possess you
No malevolence about you; then that might not be true
(that might not be true)
How they care to demonize the fucked up situation
How you killed off all the angels taking notice of you
Sharpen up your teeth
Your dreams are more than worth defending
In a fight that's never ending, go on
Go ahead and prove me wrong
[Chorus]
The further you go, the less you know
You're born to quit; you've blown it
(you've blown it)
You need to let go, of letting go
You're full of shit; you're born to quit
You've blown it
You're born to quit
Sharpen up your teeth
Your dreams are more than worth defending
In a fight that's never ending, go on
Go ahead and prove me wrong
[Chorus]
The further you go, the less you know
You're born to quit; you've blown it
(you've blown it)
You need to let go, of letting go
You're full of shit; you're born to quit
You've blown it
You're born to quit
You've blown it...
You've blown it!
You've blown it!

Let’s talk about another one. That got manipulated and is a record label tragedy. I like it, though. It’s about coming to grips with who you are. You realize s— that you hate and you can hate yourself the right way and hate yourself instead of being like “I suck.”
