Oh, what I'd give just for seven more years to figure myself out
Now pressure’s busting my buttons
They said, "Be more like your cousins or get out"
Emptiness is strange, not like her brother pain
She just reminds you that there's work you need to do

If only I'd arranged
My life, I’d have attained all the empty promises I gave to you

They haven't stolen my soul, not yet
They haven't stolen my soul
So in this cold lonesome desert, I will retain control

I don't need to be anything you want from me, no, no
See, I'm a different man, fleeting dreams is who I am, you see
So scream the roof off if you please
You'll never bring me to my knees
I swear, your words aren't wanted here
And if it helps, I'll leave the room
I’ll see you in the afternoon and we’ll be like nothin' ever happened

You haven’t stolen my soul, not yet
You haven't stolen my soul
So in your dark twisted visions, I will retain control
Or let it be the death of me
Is this what you wanted? Oh, I'm all ears
Is it everything you wanted? Oh, after all these years

You haven't stolen my soul, not yet
You haven’t stolen my soul
So in your dark twisted visions, I will retain control

Oh, what I'd give just for seven more years to figure myself out
