I'm holding on so tightly now,
My insides scream so loud
They keep watching,
Watching me drowned,
How did it come to this

How did it come to this?
How did I know it was you?
It was a bad dream?
Asphyxiated and watch me bleed
The life support was cut,
The knot was too tight,
They push and pull me but
They know they'll never win

[Chorus]
Throw it all away throw it all away
I keep on screaming but
There's really nothing left to say
So get away, just get away
I keep on fighting but
I can't keep going on this way

I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on like this,
They make me sick,
And I get so sick of it,
Cause they won't let me,
They won't let me breath,
Why can't they let me be?

Why can't they let me be?
Why don't I know what I am?
I force this hate into my heart
Cause it's my only friend,
My lips are sewn shut,
I watch my self bleed,
They push and pull me
And it's killing me within

[Chorus]

I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on this way
I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on this way

My heart beat stumbles and
My back bone crumbles
I feel is it real as
The lynch mob doubles?

They want blood and they'll kill for it,
Drain me and they'll kneel for it
Burn me at the stake met
The devil made the deal for it.

Guillotine dreams, yeah,
They're guillotine gleams,
The blood of they're enemies
Watching while they sense me.

Sentencing ceased, sentence
Diseased and watch them bask
In the glory of their holy disease

[Chorus]

I keep on running,
I keep on running
I keep on running
But I can't keep
Going on this way

I keep on running
I keep on running
But I can't keep
Going on this way

    General Comment:my heartbeat stumbles and my backbone crumbles i feel is it real as the lynch mob doubles. i think it means that when they get to you they really get to you but earlier in the song it says they push and pull but they know theyll never win its true no matter how much shit you go through you may come out broken and hurt but you still came out ALIVE its very inspiring to me because i used to get bullied everywhere i went but it stopped after i realized that i can be stronger than the people that fuck with me

    General Comment:Everytime I hear this song a chill goes down my spine. It reminds me of me and when i hear it i want to cry. Im not a Hip Hop/Rap/whatever you want to call Hollywood Undead, Melodic Death Metal is my thing, but songs like Sell Your Soul, Knife Called Lust, Young, This Love This Hate, and Paradise Lost, powerful emotional songs, I cant go without them. They all remind me of me in someway. At school no one pays attention to me unless they're bashing me till i want to curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep. To most everyone besides my girlfriend and my 3 friends I'm just "That Emo Freak" but these kinds of songs are amazing. They are the best songs to listen to when I'm depressed. Listening to these songs makes me want to take a stand, and I do, I fight everyday with these fuckers that treat me like shit. I dont throw one punch, but I'm still fighting. They wont stop but thats still not an excuse to stop fighting.

    Thats my take on this amazing song.

    General Comment:@ everyone who said this song reminds them of hwo theyre harassed, lemme just say i feel you fucking pain. i was the high school nerdy fat kid and happan to have a lesbian mother so needless to say my life wasnt east but i just learned to not let this shit get to me. people fucked with me and i would fuck them up back. youve gotta take a fucking stand, let them know YOU ARENT GOING TO TAKE THEIR SHIT ANYMORE!! MAKE THEM RESPECT YOU! make tem fucking fear you. if they pick on you stand tall keep ur spine stiff and kindly ask them to fuck off. confidence goes along ways towards making people repect you. hell if all else fails next time somebody picks on you grab a stick or something and beat te shit out of them. youve gotta take a stand for your dignity. thats all i have to say. peace.
