Backwards Picture Frames

I told myself it'd be different
I'd break away from my demons
Board up the door
Kill all the backward picture frames
Settle for peace and quiet
Feels like a burst in my head
Silence is loud
The urge to fall will always be in me

Is this the life I chose before I could speak?
Is there a choice for me to make
Before I'm in too deep?
I've waited long enough
And battled too much
I think it's time to step out
Step out of the old me

Take what you need, make me believe
Just watch me bleed (I don't need you)
Take what you need, make me believe
Just watch, I won't back down

Dark state of mind with a black heart
Feeding my soul till I blackout
I wear the weight of my mind like it keeps me alive
No matter how far I vanish
It follows fast with no limit
Still I refuse to light the fuse
And let it take control

Is this the life I chose before I could speak?
Is there a choice for me to make
Before I'm in too deep?
I've waited long enough
And battled too much
I think it's time to step out
Step out of the old me

Take what you need, make me believe
Just watch me bleed (I don't need you)
Take what you need, make me believe
Just watch, I won't back down

I held my breath
Scared of what I'd become
If I'd let go
I kept you in
Let you define me
I almost lived your name

You don't own me now
You don't frame me now
You won't bend me down
I turned the pictures back around
You don't own me now
You don't frame me now
You won't bend me down
I'm breaking out, I'm breaking out

Take what you need, make me believe
Just watch me bleed (I don't need you)
Take what you need, make me believe
Just watch me bleed (I don't need you)
Take what you need, make me believe
Just watch me bleed (I don't need you)
Take what you need, make me believe
Just watch, I won't back down
