about
An old song from our band days, an adjustment to the expectations placed upon you and that you have yourself
lyrics
Verse 1
Don't want to backtrack
I've seen it all before
Time to set the world on fire
And claim a little more
Not sent to hold your hand
Or share your belief
Just got myself to count
That's all I need
Chorus
See my revolution
I change until I break
So much for your delusion
I'll keep what I can take
It's a bold intrusion
For everybody's sake
So to save confusion
I'll sew up your mistakes
Ever wonder where's the high hopes?
Ever worry about your life?
Don't even think I'll make the footnotes
It's gonna drive me
Out of my mind
You could break your back
And still never find
That slice of happiness
Or peace of mind
While I've still got breath
I know I've got time
While my heart still beats
I'll claim what's mine
Chorus
See my revolution
I change until I break
So much for your delusion
I'll keep what I can take
It's a bold intrusion
For everybody's sake
So to save confusion
I'll sew up your mistakes
Ever wonder where's the high hopes?
Ever worry about your life?
Don't even think I'll make the footnotes
It's gonna drive me
Out of my mind
Chorus
See my revolution
I change until I break
So much for your delusion
I'll keep what I can take
It's a bold intrusion
For everybody's sake
So to save confusion
I'll sew up your mistakes
Never worry about your life
I never worry about my life
Never worry about my life
It's gonna drive me out of my mind
Where are the high hopes?
Don't want to backtrack
I've seen it all before
Time to set the world on fire
And claim a little more
Not sent to hold your hand
Or share your belief
Just got myself to count
That's all I need
Chorus
See my revolution
I change until I break
So much for your delusion
I'll keep what I can take
It's a bold intrusion
For everybody's sake
So to save confusion
I'll sew up your mistakes
Ever wonder where's the high hopes?
Ever worry about your life?
Don't even think I'll make the footnotes
It's gonna drive me
Out of my mind
You could break your back
And still never find
That slice of happiness
Or peace of mind
While I've still got breath
I know I've got time
While my heart still beats
I'll claim what's mine
Chorus
See my revolution
I change until I break
So much for your delusion
I'll keep what I can take
It's a bold intrusion
For everybody's sake
So to save confusion
I'll sew up your mistakes
Ever wonder where's the high hopes?
Ever worry about your life?
Don't even think I'll make the footnotes
It's gonna drive me
Out of my mind
Chorus
See my revolution
I change until I break
So much for your delusion
I'll keep what I can take
It's a bold intrusion
For everybody's sake
So to save confusion
I'll sew up your mistakes
Never worry about your life
I never worry about my life
Never worry about my life
It's gonna drive me out of my mind
Where are the high hopes?
