Atrophy Lyrics

Don't tell me that this is your last chance to change
'Cause if you do, then you would be telling a lie but

I warned you, what could happen if you should decide
To live your life from nine to five
And I mourn you for the detail that is left unsaid
Is a reminder of the time you bled

Return to days when you knew
You still you felt alive
Reveal the way you felt
When you could look inside

They sold you everything you need to fix you up
And you feel good now but you can't wake up
They found a way to reassure you
(That everything would be okay)
Reach out today now I implore you to remember who you are

Return to days when you knew
You still you felt alive
Reveal the way you felt
When you could look inside

So you felt it but you don't know
Why you can't explain at all?
Why you felt it? 'Cause you don't know
No, you don't know

Break the walls between building atrophy
Causing all your problems to recede

Break the walls between
(Break the walls between)
Causing all your pain
(Causing all your pain)
You'll never learn

Return to days when you knew
You still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt
When you could look inside

Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought

Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
Take back the beat in your heart
Why fight when you can't be bought
