Taking Everything

This fever on my mind / I'm burning down inside
My luck may never change / Or so it seems that way
I know in seven years / This curse will disappear
Where has my ladder gone? I feel like I've been robbed
In taking everything from me now
I'm making over what I hoped to be, I know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me now
You take my license plates / You've taken everything
The place where I belong / You take all my songs
You've taken what I wanted / The few things that I kept
I turned around to help someone / And then you helped yourself
In taking everything from me now
I'm making over what I hoped to be, I know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me now
So take away the skin / You scratch until you win
And in this lottery / What is the prize for me?
I'd give you anything / But I can't match this happiness
What's right or wrong / Where do I belong?
In taking everything from me now
I'm making over what I hoped to be, I know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me now
Where has my ladder gone? You take all my songs
Where do I belong?
In taking everything from me
