This is my reasoning for never being a deadbeat burnout, a black lunged ghost For me to believe that we can break away, break away from these chains That have been holding us down, keeping me from realizing what's beyond me Let our souls run free
Never will I ever leave my moral compass warward or let the world bring me crashing down Take hold and take heart, never leave this in the hands of doubt
We've been made out to be a debauchery when the life I lead is what means the most to me
So I'm holding onto hope For the voiceless and misdirected The light within the dark, to look past all the trouble and hardship
I know I'm worth more than this, but sometimes I can't shake the notion that maybe I won't come out of it a better person, this train of thought has been tearing me apart
And I've sold myself short way to any times, giving in to insignificance Watching time pass me by As the world waits for no one, not a savior, nor a martyr so why should I?
Like my father always said, "you'll always have bad days, but not every day is bad" This is my reasoning for never being a deadbeat burnout, for me to believe that we can break away I know I'm worth more than this Pull yourself together kid Break away and rise above
