I am a man of conviction
Good intentions and humility
You are a liar, with no remorse
A boy with no solidity
I dream bigger and brighter
Softer and louder
Broader and more in tune
To delve into the conscious space
That is my self-indulgent swoon

Have I ever steered you wrong?
Have I ever done you harm?
All I wanted was the best for us
But you're still sounding the alarm
Have I given you anything short
Of everything essential
In showing you your potential?

You will take all you want from me
Oh, the innocence I lack
You will take all you want from me
But I will take it all back in the end

I'll never lay down and die
For I am all that is love
All that is light
No, I'll never compromise
For I was born of this world
To take back the night
Night!

Mortality is cyclical
We cringe at every yaw
But finality is infinite
And universal law

You will take all you want from me
Oh, the innocence I lack
You will take all you want from me
But I will take it all back in the end
