-- walk
sprawl
first you climb and then you fall
yeah, I see you standing tall
acting like you know it all
but your empty head
and your gaze so dead
are on top of my list
of the reasons that I fled
I'm not coming back
no way
I'm not coming back

howl
pray
think you're making some god's day
swear you know the Only Way
you don't hear me when I say
that your empty speech
is the way you leech
all the joy from the souls
forced to hear you when you preach
and I'm not coming back
no more
I'm not coming back

strike the spark
light the fire
make your life a funeral pyre
tried to lie
tried to feel
drank the world
turned to steel
your rock-hard heart beats in time
keeping pace
don't you know you've lost your place
tumbling downward, fall from grace
into nothing
please stop trying
I'm not going down with you

scream
curse
all your anger makes it worse
quote me chapter, page, and verse
guess I'm gonna be the first
who can take a stand
push away your hand
I won't let you deny me
the freedom I demand
I'm not coming back
not now
I'm not coming back to your lies
not me
I'm not coming back as your prize
no, no, no, no
I'm not coming back
I'm not coming back --
