Don't ever hold me
To expectations of the past, you see,
Or explanation of my past beliefs
Even if you'll never take it
Forget the last time
To explain what's gone through my mind
I know I'll have to trust
I'll put it past for us even if I have to fake it
You know you're never gonna see me fall
I won't lose it all for you
I'll never get another chance to lose
And though I know it might be hard to see
It's truly killing me
To be something I might not be cut out to be
But it's something that I'll have to prove
So trust in me, don't walk away
Cause we are better off this way
I see the fear in your eyes
Our past won't die
So you can think you throw it all behind
To leave a mark on everything
Like scars left carved in the skin
This is my revival
I'll never give you the chance
To make me think I'll fear the rest
I've seen a brand new side of me glance back from the mirror
And now I know the chance might not get any clearer
Or hear a new voice warning me the path to stay clear of
I'm near the edge
The dim lit dawn of our new era
And when I ask myself why
Do I even try?
I realize my dreams are still clearly in sight
And I won't be the reason why that this will die
I'll still be here
The last one standing every time
Now you all hear me
This isn't over you'll see
I'm just a lost soul, clouded mind when I lose control
I'll never be the leader they expect me to be
Will I be free to choose for me, how I come to be?
This is my one chance, no second glance
It'll be too far for me to ever see
There's no looking back
Feels like a full blown attack
Shot down hopes
You think you knew all from day one
Acting like we'll all go the same way
Cause they say you know you're never gonna make it
You know you're never gonna see me fall
I won't lose it all for you
I'll never get another chance to lose
And though I know it might be hard to see
It's truly killing me
To be something I might not be cut out to be
But it's something that I'll have to prove
So trust in me, don't walk away
Cause we are better off this way
I see the fear in your eyes
Our past won't die
So you can think you throw it all behind
To leave a mark on everything
Like scars left carved in the skin
This is my revival
I'll never give you the chance
To make me think I'll fear the rest
I've felt it for the hundredth time
No reason why I'd lose my mind over countless lies
For I am no longer caught up in the web's we've weaved
Retracing our steps to find the unseen
Emergence, I come to be
You have everything that is left of me
