Ingrained

[Chorus]
Left anywhere else out of dismay
(Cannot evade what's been ingrained within)
But it was never meant to be this way
Guess it was never meant to be this way
Has it all ever meant to be this way?
The winds of the change led me astray
(A horrid day for pouring rain on my skin)
And it was always meant to be this way
Guess it was always meant to be this way
Has it all always meant to be this way?

[Verse]
A shoulder so cold that I gave myself while brushing off the dirt
I scraped what I could and all I've left is hurt
Why won't you go on? It's like there's anybody else to blame for what you've heard
Couldn't tell the real from the fake, so they both desert
A conflict once internal slowly coming to light
The "it's alright" goes awry when the heart goes alight
Run for your life left behind into desolate blight
Gently freezing the time, so I can feel numb at last

[Bridge]
Numb at last
Feel numb at last
Numb

[Chorus]
Left anywhere else out of dismay
(Cannot evade what's been ingrained within)
But it was never meant to be this way
Guess it was never meant to be this way
Has it all ever meant to be this way?
The winds of the change led me astray
(A horrid day for pouring rain on my skin)
And it was always meant to be this way
Guess it was always meant to be this way
Has it all always meant to be this way?
Left anywhere else out of dismay
(Cannot evade what's been ingrained within)
But it was never meant to be this way
Guess it was never meant to be this way
(Within, ooh)
Has it all ever meant to be this way?
The winds of the change led me astray
(A horrid day for pouring rain on my skin)
And it was always meant to be this way
Guess it was always meant to be this way
(On my skin)
Has it all always meant to be this way?
