[Intro]
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
There I was, laid out on a table
Screaming, sweatin', bare feet to the floor
In my life, I'd not soften
Things that cut and burn so often
But I sit, think of something
Scared to face the dying nothing
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Where I go is when I feel I'm able
How I fight is why I'm feelin' sore
In my mind, not forgotten
Feel as though a tooth were rotten
Behind the smile, a tongue that's slipping
Buzzards cry when flesh is ripping
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore, ah
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
Here I sit writing on the paper
Tryna think of words you can't ignore
In my eyes, what I'm lacking
Score at face, a ten for slacking
Sign the deal, set in motion
Smaller fish, so huge the ocean
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
There I was, laid out on a table
Screaming, sweatin', bare feet to the floor
In my life, I'd not soften
Things that cut and burn so often
But I sit, think of something
Scared to face the dying nothing
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Where I go is when I feel I'm able
How I fight is why I'm feelin' sore
In my mind, not forgotten
Feel as though a tooth were rotten
Behind the smile, a tongue that's slipping
Buzzards cry when flesh is ripping
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore, ah
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
Here I sit writing on the paper
Tryna think of words you can't ignore
In my eyes, what I'm lacking
Score at face, a ten for slacking
Sign the deal, set in motion
Smaller fish, so huge the ocean
[Chorus]
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore
