Lyrics for This Is Not an Exit

I know I'll never be free Change doesn't come easy And if I'll never be free You'll live in hell with me Fear, a contradiction Co-existense, darkness brought to light My own skin don't seem to fit me right Pain is my way of self expression A fatal choice that always hangs above Love what I kill, kill what I love I run, you run, you stop and then you take it I run, you run, I stop and then you get it I run, you run, you stop and then you take it I run, you run, I stop and then you get it From me The one who's giant steps ahead of where you'd be What you don't see I know I'll never save myself Dying from this immortality This is not an exit Yeah, I can never change it This is not an exit It's no way Out, out of touch with Mortal thoughts, humanity's a dream Things are not what they seem Hungry for you, but not to hurt you Hunger for the secret of your life I'm a timeless clock and you kill time I run, you run, you stop and then you take it I run, you run, I stop and then you get it I run, you run, you stop and then you take it I run, you run, I stop and then you get it From me The one who's giant steps ahead of where you'd be What you don't see I know I'll never save myself Dying from this immortality This is not an exit I can never change it This is not an exit It's no way out It's no way out There's no way out It's no way out I know I'll never be free Change doesn't come easy And if I'll never be free You'll live in hell with me This is not an exit This is not an exit This is not an exit This is not an exit I can never change it You stop and then you take it I stop and I can't fake it 'Cause this is not an exit Pain is my way of self expression A fatal choice hangs above Love what I kill, kill what I love Love, love, love This is not an exit (not an exit) This is not an exit (not an exit) I can never change it 'Cause this is not an exit Hand over fist Come and taste my dark trick Hand over fist Kill you when I give it This is not an exit (not an exit) This is not an exit (not an exit) I can never change it This is not an exit
