Masses Of A Dying Breed
Miss May I · Monument [2010]
I have made it here.
This is where I want to be.
But this is only halfway there.
Some things have taken over who I am.
Take it all back
Back from where you came.
Some things have taken over who I am.
I went cold finding my way back.
Places only seen by one's will want to be.
Lost consumes masses of a dying breed.
Hammered through life a nail to seal this demise.
This light will show forever and a day.
This is where I want to be.
Where there's comfort in everything.
This is where I want to be.
I have made it here from nothing.
No recognition of who you are.
Don't you see this is where I want to be.
You're only making excuses
To hide what the truth is.
You're only making a fool of yourself.
Unthought out excuses.
You're only making a fool of yourself.
Unthought out excuses.
This is where I want to be.
Where there's comfort in everything.
This is where I want to be.
I have made it here from nothing.
This is where I want to be.
Where there's comfort in everything.
This is where I want to be.
I have made it here from nothing.
This is where I want to be.
Where there's comfort in everything.
This is where I want to be.
I have made it here from nothing.
[Spoken]
I have made it here.
This is where I want to be.
But this is only half way there.
Somethings have taken over who I am.
Take it all back
Back from where you came.
