3. Sweet to the Point of Bitter (5:58)
The deeper I'm in, my ultimate sin
Stuck in my skin, sweet to the point of bitter
Beautiful lights, memorable fights
Hustle within, sweet to the point of bitter
I feel like myself, but I'm losing sight
My blood runs cold, I'm running into the night
My wounds will heal, I'm under your shield
Paralyzed, but I will find a way

When I'm driven, when I'm weak
And it hits me like a ton of bricks
All these pleasures, all these kicks
Deaf and blind and one step behind
Pour me some more, sink to the floor

Ignite, you see the reason, my solace and peace
The offspring created by cynicism
Into the unknown and out of the flames
I need you to let me be me

The risk that I take, experience
What's in it for me? Sweet to the point of bitter
I don't have the need to succeed in anything
And it's sweet to the point of bitter

When I'm driven, when I'm weak
And it hits me like a ton of bricks
All these pleasures, all these kicks
Deaf and blind and one step behind
Pour me some more, sink to the floor

Ignite, you see the reason, my solace and peace
The offspring created by cynicism
Into the unknown and out of the flames
I need you to let me be me

One can suffer, one can flee
I will take the punches coming right at me
You will forgive me and lay your weapons down
You will acknowledge I was broken before you came around
See me with my pride and power, hear me, hear me
My glass is empty, see me without passion, passion
Frail without you, the sum of minds collide

Ignite, you see the reason, my solace and peace
The offspring created by cynicism
Into the unknown and out of the flames
I need you to let me be me
