I'll make my way clear to the end,
wont give up, wont give in,
I'll take this to my grave with me,
wont wonder what the cost will be,
I'll run my blade across my chest,
wont slow down and I wont rest,
this is all I have to give,
this is how I have to live,
I dont know where my life will lead
or how much more I'll have to bleed,
but I do know one thing for sure,
I wont lie down for this any more,
I'll stand up on this mountain top
scream my name until I drop,
hold this fire in my heart
and if it must tear me apart
Ill stand my ground.
I'll stand up for my right to live,
remember all the things I've been,
hold my head up to the sky
i wont flinch wont hide my eyes,
Ill think of all the things Ive done,
fights I've lost, the hearts I've won
Ill count the scars on both my hands
and know they dont make me a man,
I'll tear the words right from my throat,
give you something true to quote,
write my name in my own blood,
mark it with my sweat and love
I'm better than I seem to be,
I mean more than you seem to see
I'll yell out loud and beat my chest,
keep whats important , burn the rest.
for all I know, all I've been
is a person too afraid to live,
afraid to fail and lose my face,
how i felt like just a waste,
tore myself apart with fear,
made myself hate every new year,
but I cant do it any more,
my heart is tired my eyes are sore,
I promise ill never fall back down,
my feet wont even touch the ground,
I know the path that I must take,
the barriers that I must break,
I see the place where I belong,
the reason I have carried on,
for the first time I know my place,
i know the path that I should take,
I'll make my way clear to the end,
wont give up, wont give in,
I'll take this to my grave with me,
wont wonder what the cost will be,
I'll run my blade across my chest,
wont slow down and I wont rest,
this is all I have to give,
this is how I have to live,
I dont know where my life will lead
or how much more I'll have to bleed,
but I do know one thing for sure,
I wont lie down for this any more,
I'll stand up on this mountain top
scream my name and never stop,
hold this fire in my heart
and if it must tear me apart
Ill stand my ground,
I'll never fall again.
