I’ve held this blade above my wrist For far too long The scars are showing but I’m yet to make a mark What a perfect metaphor for the wasted times and sleepless nights I’ve seen the headlights in the distance I’ve let go of the wheel and swerved to avoid The possibility of failure and the certainty of pain
I’ve lied to the ones who birthed me Told them everything was fine I’ve cried myself to sleep And hoped for the afterlife But when the world becomes too much to handle I’m reminded of a reason to carry on I’m given a second chance at living with the music and the lyrics I pen
As your world comes crashing down I hope you stop and hear the sound Of my hand on my heart as I Scream out with my head and my arms raised High
Singing Woah-Oh-Woah-ohhh
My brothers that back these words I sing Give me the chance to prevail This song is a testament to the past 12 months of hell It’s taken me months to put this all Down into words But the world is going to see the man who pushed on forward
Suffering in silence, losing my way Just tell me you’ll be here, tell me you’ll stay Not sure how much more that this cracked heart can take of this constant beating When all I have left are my brothers, my dreams But they’re slowly fading
Suffering in silence, losing my way (I’ll be the light to guide you back home) Just tell me you’ll be here, tell me you’ll stay (I’ll stay here as long as you need) Not sure how much more that this cracked heart can take of this constant beating (We’ll pick up the pieces and mend) When all I have left are my brothers, my dreams But they’re slowly fading (I won’t ever fade away) (Woah-oh-oh) Just hold your head up high and scream!
As your world comes crashing down I hope you stop and hear the sound Of my hand on my heart as I Scream out with my head and my arms raised High
Singing Woah-Oh-Woah-ohhh
I’ve held this blade above my wrist For far too long The scars are showing but I’m yet to make a mark What a perfect metaphor for the wasted times and sleepless nights
