I felt this way before 
I fell right through the floor 
And I am certain I've become 
Broken, bruised, and numb 
Would you restate your opinion 
And hold back your investigation 
Do you see the sins you're making 
Cause I've made them all before 

I will now rise from the ashes 
Don't call me pretentious 
I'm sitting here making my own rules 
And if I fall from the ceiling 
You'll be down there waiting 
And my only hope 
Is falling down 

And by my own admission 
You'll find that my condition 
Is worse than you imagined 
You're better off if you know 
But every time before that I tried to measure pain inside 
You can't ignore it 
Right now I can't ignore it 

I will now rise from the ashes 
Don't call me pretentious 
I'm sitting here making my own rules 
And if I fall from the ceiling 
You'll be down there waiting 
To finish me 

Inside of me (x7) 
I'll take my heart 
And rip my feelings out 
Before they make me doubt 
And I'll fall down with flames burning 
Alive again 
As long as you know that 

I will now rise from the ashes 
Don't call me pretentious 
I'm sitting here making my own rules 
And if I fall from the ceiling 
You'll be down there waiting 
To finish me 
Finish me
