Interpret:

From Autumn To Ashes

Album:

Holding a Wolf by the Ears

This is a progression
And you would prefer
The obsolete so leave
Expired make room for shorter teeth
You caught me
Sulking and feeling sorry
But this boy this boy has everything
This boy this boy has everything he needs
So give yourself over to time and decay
Caged by the freeway


[Chorus] 
This is a progression
And you would prefer
The obsolete so leave
So give yourself over to time (and decay, and decay)
Give yourself over


A worse negation of live than death is that
You'll never want what you get
But failing is just as sweet as success.
I've tried them both and have no preference
So open your eyelid, scan the horizon
Pick a direction and
Don't stop driving


Recounts and recollections,
Arguments and objections
Make a connection, open your eyelid
scan the horizon
Waking to dream with the brave and defiant


So give yourself over to time and decay
Caged by the freeway


[Chorus] 


My self-motivation
This scar, this badge of honor
My self-motivation
This scar, this badge of honor
My self-motivation
This scar, this badge of honor
My self-motivation
This scar, this badge of honor
