lyrics

THE ONLY MOTTO THAT I WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW
IS STAY STRONG!
I FALL DOWN, I GET UP AND I MOVE ON
PRESSURE IS RISING HIGH, MY BODY SUFFERS,
BUT MY MIND IS ALWAYS PUSHING FOR MORE

THE FINAL STRETCH TO THE GOAL
MY LEGS ARE HEAVY I'M GETTING SLOW
STRESS IS GAINING ON ME
SEEMS LIKE THIS TIME I WON'T MAKE IT
I’M GOING INTO SHOCK
BUT I DON'T FEEL IT
(MADE A GAMBLE WITH DEATH
NOW IT’S COMING TO COLLECT

WOKE UP DROWNING IN SWEAT
SOMETHING IS PULLING ME DOWN
WATCHING LIVES EXPIRE RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
DEATH IS ON THE PROWL, IT’S GETTING CLOSER NOW
WE ARE ALL MEANT TO DIE
BUT IT’S NOT MY TIME
TODAY I FIGHT!

NIGHTS ARE GETTING SO LONG AND WEARY
PLAYING GAMES WITH DEATH
SCOREBOARD HANGS ABOVE MY BED
TIME TO PAY MY DEBTS
CAN I DO WHAT IT TAKES
TO DESERVE ANOTHER CHANCE

DROP BY DROP
CLEANSING MY OWN BLOODSTREAM
STEP BY STEP
IT’S HARD BUT I HAVE TO WIN THIS

FOR THE PRECIOUS FEW IN MY LIFE I CARE ABOUT
LESSONS LEARNED AND I'M NOT GIVING UP

BROKEN AND LOST, REACHING FOR STRAWS
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MY KIDDO I’M COMING HOME

I’M COMING HOME

WOKE UP DROWNING IN SWEAT
SOMETHING IS PULLING ME DOWN
WATCHING LIVES EXPIRE
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
DEATH IS ON THE PROWL
IT’S GETTING CLOSER NOW
WE ARE ALL MEANT TO DIE
BUT IT’S NOT MY TIME
TODAY I FIGHT
