lyrics

There was a time, not so long ago, when I let my fire burn out. Through beaten eyes, each sunrise looked cold, screaming but nothing came out.

I might be bleeding, but I'm still breathing.

How could I know the darkness would go? Back then, I thought that it was all I ever could see. I won't live my life being scared of the night. With stars still shining brightly, nothing's ever quite as dark as it seems.

They always say, what goes up must come down - and I'm living proof that it's true. But from the bottom, there's a choice to be made. Can't let anyone make it for you.

10 months have gone, and now nothing's the same, the life that I built brought to dust by faithless ghosts that I thought were like blood - rock bottom teaches you who you can trust.

Tried to unmake me, still couldn't break me.

Someday, the scars I thought would break me will just be a map of all that's shaped me. I thought the nights were getting longer. Though I was right, they made me stronger.

I'll fight for this forever cause it's never quite as far as it seems.
