I’d Rather Die

I will never give you credit where it's due
But I will save plenty for myself
Have I become so fragile
I would break inside your arms?
But I feel most healthy when I'm bleeding...

With one hand tied behind my back again
I'm never broken when I fall
If I can't be someone of consequence
I'd rather die than have to crawl

Fear - concealed by conceit and foolish pride
This truth - revealed in my lies
The face of rage
I cover with a mask of my design
But I speak most clearly when I'm screaming...

With one hand tied behind my back again
I'm never broken when I fall
If I can't be someone of consequence
I'd rather die than have to crawl

I'm forgotten like a child without a name
Stripped bare
Of everything but shame
If I end up a would-be God
Deprived of only fame
We all die humble in the end...

With one hand tied behind my back again
I'm never broken when I fall
If I can't be someone of consequence
I'd rather die than have to crawl
I'd rather die than have to crawl
I'd rather die
I'd rather die
