Four Year Strong

Lyrics I hold myself in contempt Four Year Strong

 1.049

I hold myself in contempt


Just stop the act
You've been climbing up my back to weigh me down
I attempt
Keeping you and all your baggage off the ground

You're not just another nail in my coffin
You're the box I'm laid to rotten alone in
But don't be surprised if I don't make it out alive

So get a grip, you're losing it
Your time is fading fast
I won't waste another second picking you up when you're falling

Back away
I'm anything but ok
What's the point of living if you're already dead?
Take the best
Of everything I've got left
I won't waste my days hating myself to death

What's left to say?
I've been heading down this road, or so I'm told
Apparently I'm out of control
Apparently I'm about to explode

I never thought that I'd be giving you up
I never thought that I'd be giving you up, I never
I never thought that you'd be holding me back
I never thought that you'd be holding me back

There will be nothing left of you when I go
Because of you, the air I breathe is suffocating
I won't waste another second on you
Picking you up when you fall

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics I HOLD MYSELF IN CONTEMPT of FOUR YEAR STRONG is also present in the album Four year strong (2015)
