lyrics

I've let my problems
become a weakness
in everything I've ever stood for.
But no longer will I have
regrets.

Growing up
was the first place
I let my heart sink to my legs.
Breaking in and attempting
to make this count.
Moving forward
with nothing in harms way,
The hope that banishes
hopelessness.

Approaching this willingly.
Until my body's found
I will scream:
"I'm the master of my own fate.
Anything in my path; dismantled."
With everything in me.

Though I've built this
with my own two hands,
I am coming clean and changing all of this.
But not myself.
I'll tear this down.
All you've worked for
is catching up to me.
While breathing in with undoubting compliance.
Nothing, yet everything in reach.
And anything that is given to us,
in respect for everything.

A Legacy of repentance
and widening my perspective,
Fear of the unknown.
I only speak the truth
about my intertwining innocence.
Maintaining self control.

Everything you've ever known,
hear these words as they bellow:
"No matter how hard I try,
my chest will always be hollow."

I'll tell you when I've had enough,
you'll never put a stop to this one.
As long as I'm still standing
May my words, may they always be much more
demanding.
