"Equivalent Exchange" lyrics

I've been running away from myself
Avoiding my inner desires
I've been running for so long
But now is time to face myself
I've been running away from myself
Avoiding my inner desires
I've been running for so long
But now is time to face myself

Can't remember who I was
Before the anger
I lost this side of me
Fuck
I want everything
Right here and right now

I don't need permission
I will take back what's mine
I lost everything but a broken dream
I just cannot cope with it anymore
Something is missing
I need more
I've sacrified everything
And what have you given?
Nothing but a waste of time
Draining my will away
While I could have had
Everything and more

Sacrifice comes with the price of eternal pain
But I don't wanna live in regret
Secretly desperate for greater things
I will exchange my soul
My being everything I got against all my dreams

I claim what's mine
May the guides show me the way

I have been giving so much
Wasting my time over unkind souls
I've been left alone
I pushed back the serpent of temptation
I want it back now
Let it whisper to me
Let it conquer
The realm of my dreams
And guide me
To my purpose

Let the root of sin take me
If this is how it has to be
I'd do anything to finally make it
I'll live in your shadows if you liberate me

Sacrifice comes with the price of eternal pain
But I don't wanna live in regret
Secretly desperate for greater things
I will exchange my soul
My being everything I got against all my dreams

May the guides receive this sacrifice
Ready for this journey through the dark
I will bleed in order to succeed
Hear my cries have pity on me

May the guides receive this sacrifice
I am ready
For this fucking journey in the dark
I will bleed
In order to succeed
Hear my cries
My fucking cries
