Bleeding Is a Luxury - Atreyu

Ive talked the talk, I’ve walked the walk,

It’s taken ten fucking years,

For them to see I don’t need their approval.

I’ve paid the piper,

I’ve stayed my course,

Lived chomping at the bit.

With only blood, sweat, and tears to adhere to-

Open your eyes and see,

That it’s so menacing,

You need to realize that bleeding is a luxury.

Give 'til there’s nothing left,

Value in every breath,

You need to realize that bleeding is a luxury.

Take it for granted,

Forsake the costs,

Wear a big, shit-eating grin

(with only blood, sweat, and tears to adhere to)

Now bear the burden to chase your fate

Grind your teeth 'til it fucking hurts

So they can see I don’t need their approval.

Seize the day,

Take your beatings,

Lead the way,

Or decay as you fall down…

You fall down.

It’s a luxury,

Bleeding is a luxury!
