Takes

Lyrics

[intro]

Is this really happening? Or is it just a dream?

Like the whole world turned to a stage and I forgot my lines…

[verse]

Mama, I did something — there's no turning back this time:

One minute of anger and someone's life went dark.

Mama, I was only learning how to live, just taking my first steps,

And now all I own is fear and guilt.

[verse]

Too late to run now — they're coming for me,

Cold down my spine, my knees have turned to water.

Goodbye to everyone I ever loved,

If I don't come back, live on without the curse.

[bridge]

I see the shadows — they're calling me to judgment!

Voices thunder: "Guilty! Guilty!" — and I scream: "Let me go!"

We will not let you go! Let him go! We will not let you go! Let him go!

Let God be the judge — not you, not you, not you!

[verse]

So you thought you'd break me and wipe me clean away?

You thought I'd fall and beg you on my knees?

Oh no, I'll stand — even at the edge of dying

I won't hand my soul over to the wind!

[outro]

Nothing really matters anyway.

Let the wind carry it wherever it wants.

Nothing really matters… not to me anymore.

[intro]
Is this really happening? Or is it just a dream?
Like the whole world turned to a stage and I forgot my lines…

[verse]
Mama, I did something — there's no turning back this time:
One minute of anger and someone's life went dark.
Mama, I was only learning how to live, just taking my first steps,
And now all I own is fear and guilt.

[verse]
Too late to run now — they're coming for me,
Cold down my spine, my knees have turned to water.
Goodbye to everyone I ever loved,
If I don't come back, live on without the curse.

Voices thunder: "Guilty! Guilty!" — and I scream: "Let me go!"
We will not let you go! Let him go! We will not let you go! Let him go!
Let God be the judge — not you, not you, not you!

You thought I'd fall and beg you on my knees?
Oh no, I'll stand — even at the edge of dying

Let the wind carry it wherever it wants.
Nothing really matters… not to me anymore.
