lyrics

Control
or lack thereof
Cause I'm caught in the wire
like a mourning dove
flashback to where it began
till this all becomes just a means to and end

I mean well
It doesn't mean a thing
cause the gift you'd seek
isn't just for me
freedom comes when you tighten the reigns
is the frightening idea that we all bring

So what am I holding on to
cause you're the only one who sees right through
So why can't I just trust you
Crash and burn to be born anew

This is the gift I've recieved
but it's not the plan I thought it would be
do I fight to break this leash
and in doing so be consumed by the beast

This is the point of make or break
to concede to the night and fade away or
buy the field and sell what's mine
to recieve the light of eternal life

So what am I holding on to
cause you're the only one who sees right through
So why can't I just trust you
Crash and burn to be born anew

This is the point of make or break
This is the point of make or break
This is the point of make or break
This is the point of, this is the point of

This is the point of make or break
This is the point of make or break
This is the point of, this is the point of
This is the point of make or break

This is the point
We never though we'd reach
This is the point
It came without fail
This is the point
It all came crashing
This is the point
It all fell apart

This is the point
Of make or break
This is the point
