From the recording Infinite Paradox
Notes: The oldest song on this album, Adrian created the majority of the guitar work on it initially while living in South Africa during his time in university. It sat on his computer for a few years till Sylvester heard a demo of it and knew it had to be made into a Chasing Titans song. Adrian then worked on it during 2018-2019 and the band started playing the initial non-synth version of it live. During early 2023 Adrian composed the synths and completed “Cliffhanger” as it is today.
Lyrics
Let me go
A victim
Of circumstances
We're not the same
We're not the same
With everything
An innocent
With lost chances
They take it away
And break it away
From everyone
Who wanted to play and wanted stay and wanted to be
Another day of wanting the same, wanting to be
Different from you
Accepted now too
Breaking the mold by standing so bold and then being told that
Out in the cold is where you'll grow old, please just fold on
This hand that I’ve
Been dealt twice
So let me go
I can't feel like you and
I can't be like you
Play this game then you throw me aside
When you played a heart and now you play a part so
So let me go
I can't feel like you and
I can't be like you
Twist the knife then you
Tempt me again
When you take a toll
And now I lose control
Bullied
Thrown away
Stowing this pain
Is keeping me sane
On everything
A broken heart
I got for free
It’s leading me on
Keeping me strong
For everyone
Who wanted to play and wanted stay and wanted to be
Another day of wanting the same, wanting to be
Different from you
Accepted now too
Breaking the mold by standing so bold and then being told that
Out in the cold is where you'll grow old, please just fold on
This hand that I’ve
Been dealt twice
So let me go
I can't feel like you and
I can't be like you
Play this game then you throw me aside
When you played a heart and now you play a part so
So let me go
I can't feel like you and
I can't be like you
Twist the knife then you
Tempt me again
When you take a toll
And now I lose control
Let me go
I can't feel like you and
I can't be like you
Play this game then you throw me aside
When you played a heart and now you play a part so
So let me go
I can't feel like you and
I can't be like you
Twist the knife then you
Tempt me again
When you take a toll
And now I lose control
