I've spent twelve months Fighting this illusion of me Stuck in the shadows Of the person I'm supposed to be And lines got blurred Somewhere in between My father's son And their twisted fantasy And I felt empty What's left of me? There's a soul There's a pulse There's a warrior There's a hole where my heart used to be Now I'm filling it up with all the things I always said I'd be I always said I'd be Oh whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh So I let you in But I'm so scared of what you'll see Just skin and bones Hiding this monster inside of me And I don't need much I just need a little room to breathe And I need you But I'm not so sure you need me And I felt empty What's left of me? There's a soul There's a pulse There's a warrior There's a hole where my heart used to be Now I'm filling it up with all the things I always said I'd be I always said I'd be There's a soul There's a pulse There's a warrior There's a hole where my heart used to be Now I'm filling it up with all the things I always said I'd be I always said I'd be Oh whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh So they picked up their armor And they went to do battle With all of their demons And all their monsters of past lives And they don't run from this Like they did when they were kids Because to not have some battle scars Is to never have lived
