"I Am My Own Invention (Tauscher.0)" lyrics

Hold me, please, I can't shake these tremors in my bones
No feeling is worse than knowing you're completely alone
And they found me in the alley
Painting black roses on my body

And I'm taking the long way home tonight
And I'll take it one step at a time
Down the streets that try to hide
(Are you out there? Do you even care?)

I've been wandering my entire life
Searching for something I can't find
It's like falling ashes in my mind
(I'm searching for something I can't find)

Our pain looks better when the ink hits the paper
Revolt repent don't repeat the words from the mouth of a serpent
Your shame, doesn't make you any less of a stranger
Hate resent even when they deserved it

The kings and queens are bastard fiends
This is a revolution
We're living evolution

This is our vision
We can change the world if you'd just listen

Everything that you wanted me to be I'm not
I'm just trying to understand everything I've become but I'm
Not sure I want to know

And I'm taking the long way home tonight
And I'll take it one step at a time
Down the streets that try to hide

I've been wandering my entire life
Searching for something I can't find
It's like falling ashes in my mind
(I'm searching for something I can't find)

Slow it down and cut the dead weight
Fight with me and you won't die on your knees
Slow it down and cut the dead weight
Fight with me if you won't die for free

Get up! get up! get up!

I said slow it down, and cut the dead weight
I live a life of vision
I am my own invention
Slow it down and cut the dead weight

And they found me in the alley
Painting black roses on my body

And I'm taking the long way home tonight
And I'll take it one step at a time
Down the streets that try to hide
(Are you out there? Do you even care?)

I've been wandering my entire life
Searching for something I can't find
It's like falling ashes in my mind
(I'm searching for something I can't find)
