Not My Blood

Here's my chance to break contract
To exist without the lie that we'll live to be
Something more than feeling deep inside
But I'm worth only numbers for the bearing of your pride
And I only live to be alive, I only live to be alive

You don't know a God damn thing about me
But you still tear out my heart like you know
That everything I have within me is just waiting to start again

Here we will conform to all the faults of the past, where you reap
What we sow, and our ideas aren't ours to have

Someday you'll get what we deserve, the profit you had never earned
Will be the deficit you cannot comprehend and as you rake in your return
We'll loathe the lesson never learned that bottom lines
Won't ever satisfy demand for what could have been
