lyrics

Found an end to the cycle
And the choices are seeming clear
I can picture the outcome
When the end to it looks so near
There's a path to the future
In whichever degree we stand
But every person is pointing
And you can't find a helping hand

When you won't take away from it all
(Won't take it all)
No you can't take away from it all
(You can't take it all)
When you won't take away from it all
(Won't take it all)
No you can't take away
(You can't take it)

I'm beginning to dread it
Searching only for what is right
Sinking into submission
Going over the lines at night
Never thought what they told you
Could be ever so obsolete
There's no way of preparing
For a fate you may never meet

When you won't take away from it all
(Won't take it all)
No you can't take away from it all
(You can't take it all)
When you won't take away from it all
(Won't take it all)
No you can't take away
(You can't take it)

What opened after all
If you can't see in too clearly
When you closed the door you gave away a piece of you
What opened after all
If you can't see in too clearly
When you closed the door you gave away a piece of you
Don’t look back

Leave the hope for the lucky
I've exhausted my chance of peace
Time to settle for something
Cause the pressure still won't release
Just submit to the cycle
Link yourself to the dying chain
While a world full of people
Just survive to prolong the pain

When you won't take away from it all
(Won't take it all)
No you can't take away from it all
(You can't take it all)
When you won't take away from it all
(Won't take it all)
No you can't take away
(You can't take it)

What opened after all
If you can't see in too clearly
When you closed the door you gave away a piece of you
What opened after all
If you can't see in too clearly
When you closed the door you gave away a piece of you
Don’t look back

Found an end to the cycle
And the choices are seeming clear
I can picture the outcome
When the end to it looks so near

When you won't take away from it all
(Won't take it all)
No you can't take away from it all
(You can't take it all)
When you won't take away from it all
(Won't take it all)
No you can't take away
(You can't take it)

What opened after all
If you can't see in too clearly
When you closed the door you gave away a piece of you
What opened after all
If you can't see in too clearly
When you closed the door you gave away a piece of you
Don’t look back
