My Life for Hire

[Verse 1]
Somebody give me a sign
That everything's going as planned
And then everything falls away
Into the darkness of this shallow place
The detail is striking, the room's cold and frightening
You'll kick and you'll scream, you'll try everything to survive
But you should know your fate by now (Fate by now)

[Pre-Chorus]
They told me (They told me), how I should be
But I broke the mold somehow

[Chorus]
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be one)
To let the world know what you've done to me
(Let the world know what you've done)

[Verse 2]
You, you know you gotta assert yourself
Leave what you need for now
It's not the time or place you're searching for
All I can give them's my worst of intentions
You're nothing to me and everyone can see
That your life's a lie, there's nowhere left to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
They told me (They hold me), how I should be
But I broke the mold somehow

[Chorus]
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be one)
To let the world know what you've done to me
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be one)
To let the world know what you've done to me
(Let the world know what you've done)

[Breakdown]
Watch your back, you'll lose yourself
This is a battleground
When will they know?
Your life's a lie

[Chorus]
It's too late, too late
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be the one)
To let the world know what you've done
(Somebody give me a sign)
It's too late, too late
(That everything's going as planned)
You keep trying to resolve the past right now
(And then everything falls away)
But I swear I'll be the one (Swear I'll be the one)
(Into the darkness of this shallow place)
To let the world know what you've done
(Let the world know what you've done)

[Outro]
They told me how I should be
But I broke the mold somehow
