Takin' Over

Oh, this silence is something

It just cuts like a knife

It's takin' over, takin' over

Yeah

From where no one escapes, I

Rise and rise again

I'm takin' over, takin' over

You will see now

I'm up at the mat

Face to face with a faceless enemy

I brace myself for a swing

But the impact never comes to me

Slowly the dimmed lights shine brighter

The face before me no longer mystery

Who is this who's controlled me forever?

Who else but my carbon copy

Spin me 'round in circles

Separate me from myself and myself from I

Every waking moment until I die

My own self keeps trying to stop me

Take my hearing, take my sight

Take away the previously peaceful nights

But know that at the end of this fight

This whole me is the one taking over

I'm trying to find my way

Underneath a new moon

I'm gonna find my way

If it's the last thing I do. (I'll find my way)

Oh, this silence is something

It just cuts like a knife

It's takin' over, takin' over

Yeah

From where no one escapes, I

Rise and rise again

I'm takin' over, takin' over

You will see now

I am blinded again

I am silenced again

But I will keep shouting

Oh oh oh

With you by my side

I no longer hide

I'm takin' over, takin' over

You will see now

It's takin' over, takin' over

But I'm takin' over, takin' over

I'm running, running again, yeah

From people who were friends, and

I keep running, running again

This all won't stop until I reach the end, and

Before they try to take me on, they should

Know, just know that I've been strong, but

That's how I plan to continue on being

For as long as I am living and breathing

Oh, my heart is racing

Faster than the beat of my drum. I look terrified

Petrified that who I want to be

Is not who I become. The thing is that

The person I want to be is

Currently out of my reach. The thing is that

The person I want you to see is

Currently out of my reach. (I)

I'm trying to find my way

Back to myself again

I'm gonna find my way somehow

While it may seem like a

Long shot, I will keep

Falling then rising, keep freezing then running 'til

I come back to you. (I'll find my way)

Oh, this silence is something

It just cuts like a knife

It's takin' over, takin' over

Yeah (yeah)

From where no one escapes, I

Rise and rise again

I'm takin' over, takin' over

You will see now

I am blinded again (again)

I am silenced again (again)

But I will keep shouting

Oh oh oh

With you by my side

I no longer hide

I'm takin' over, takin' over

You will see now

It's taking over me now. (It's takin' over, takin' over)

I will never stay down

But I'm takin' over, takin' over

You will see now

It's taking over me now. (It's takin' over, takin' over)

I will never stay down

But I'm takin' over, takin' over

You will see now
