The Departure - Standing 8 Count Lyrics

The ripened fruit had fallen before their insides began to rot
And all of the pesticides could leave their skin looking brand new
You have to take a bite to really know what's going on
I won't let you take me down that path
As long as there's a breath in me
It's just another pill
To make you feel good again
I have seen the things that you'll fall for when you're living on your knees
This time I'm getting back up
And I won't accept defeat Is this what we've come for
Is this all that we know
The worst is yet to come
But I'm not dying today
I've seen what you've done
To those around me and the ones that I've cared for
I won't let you take me down that path
As long as there's a breath in me
From now on I refuse to be a victim I refuse
