This is how it's been
And this is how it's gonna be
This whole mess I'm in
This isn't my identity
I take two steps back
And I take one step forward
Now I want my life back
And I will fight you for it,
I'm Titanic with a brake
I'm the one that never sank
You know, this is life we're living
Not some fucking senior prank
I'm the plane that never crashed
So come on, get off your ass
You know, this is life you're living,
So you better stay awake.
This is how life is
But isn't how it has to be
You know where I’ve been
Isn’t where I wanna be
Can't you just relax
Not like life is boring
Now I want mine back
And I will fight you for it,
Think you made the right decision?
Either way the choice is made
You know it's your grave you're digging
So you better find a spade
I'm Titanic with a brake
I'm the one that never sank
You know, it's my life you're living
As if it were yours to take
I'm the tree that fled the ax
I'm the audience that acts
You know, it's your life you're losing
So you better stay awake
You know, it's my life you're living
So you better give it back

I think these are amazing lyrics and to hear breaking benjamin sing this would be even sweeter because i think it is right up there alley, great write
-
WOW! brilliant piece of work... your works are very strong.

I totally love your song;Its really well written; aqnd it just seems so empowering Theres a line in the chorus that dosnt seem to fit to me; "Not some *bunny* senior prank". I know what the bunny means; but it seems almost random (the number of beats and such). Even with it there though; this is so lovely
-
Cool song. I liked the rhyming and beat. This one line only seemed to be off the beat, "You know it's your grave you're digging" perhaps something like, "It's your grave that you are digging?"
-
Oh wow I love this! It's very clever indeed!
All the best with this!

Great rhymes, good humor and the comparisons were great!
I liked it alot (I didn't like the bad words at all, but that's just an opinion, I still like the poem though)
Good job!
-
Awesome lyrical writing! I enjoyed this very much, but these lines in particular:
I'm Titanic with a brake
I'm the one that never sank
You know, this is life we're living
Not some fucking senior prank
