I told them from the start
That they could never change me
But they still think I'm on this brink
Of living their ways
But I decide my wrong and right
The path that I make is mine
Or I'd rather have it burn

Mayday
Mayday
I'm taking it down
It's my way or no way
And into the ground
My self-destruction is the talk of the town
But it's my way or no way
And into the ground

I've already decided
So leave me alone
You're paranoid afraid of choices counter to you
So let it go
I already know
You don't want to give it up and move along
What gives you the right
Cause this is my life
And I'll never give it away

Mayday
Mayday
I'm taking it down
It's my way or no way
And into the ground
My self-destruction is the talk of the town
But it's my way or no way
And into the ground

It doesn't matter what you're gonna say
I'll never listen to it anyway
My life is mine, there is no give or take
I'd rather die than see the fever break
But I don't understand what's happening
And I can feel the wind begin to change
And I can feel my heart begin to race
But I don't want to let it go

Mayday, mayday
Mayday, mayday

Mayday
Mayday
I'm taking me down
My way or no way
Is killing me now
I've heard it said before: The lost can be found
But it's my way or no way
So I'm into the ground
