lyrics

You want it all and now you fall.

My son, what have you done?
Your ego's taken control and your pride won't let it go.
My son, what have you done?
Where violence won't soothe your soul,
This silence won't release its hold, no.

You want it all but life can't give you that,
You want it all but they'll just take it back,
You don't have the strength to stand on both your feet,
You want it all, but you can't let it be.

My son, what have you done?
You've done regrettable things, it's true.
My son, what have you become?
You're my blood through and through.

When life's taking control, it's taking hold, it's taking its toll on you,
When life's taking control, it's taking hold, it's taking its toll on you,
My son, what will you do?

You want it all but life can't give you that,
You want it all but they'll just take it back,
You don't have the strength to stand on both your feet,
You want it all, but you can't let it be.
