Overthrow
by
Troy Luedke

I had put it
away for the very last time
Got back on track and I had cleared my mind
Started a new life without all the hell
Nothing's gonna break me, won't buy what you sell
Go ahead and try it but you won't succeed
Can't tear me down, are you listening to me
Yet somehow you got me to fall down on my knees
My power over you was just too weak
Now I sit alone, the demons returned
What's it gonna take, will I ever really learn
Have to find a way to settle the score
I just can't go on living like this any more
Time has passed by, another scar in my side
Last time you'll ever see me swallow my pride
I've locked up the doors, ain't letting you in
I'll never travel down your road ever again
