Sevendust - Not Today lyrics

[Verse 1] Transcend We try to rip the shell away Into the void without a trace The countermeasure you have now Won't do a thing It won't stick The ugly truth is here Go on and disappear, love The crooked smile we fake Is that the best we get? (x2) [Chorus] This is the thing that swallows you whole Don't give away what you wanted so long There's no more words no more reasons Not one more lie you can feed us Oh you know all the things we loathe We become it [Refrain] I defeated it we will become this [Verse 2] Resist You bite your tongue and stay asleep That's all the dirt that we need The guilty pleasure you came for fed your disease It don't stick the lines are blurred and grey Go on and try to k** love And that's your last mistake Is that the thanks we get? Yeah, that's the thanks we get [Chorus] [Refrain](x2) [Bridge] If I was wrong, then shut me down You open up surrendered All things must end but not today But you don't know what gives us hope Enough to move forward [Chorus] I defeated it we will become this I defeated it we will become
