My will is to fight just to fade No matter what the pessimists say Hate me but I won't ever let up I embrace all the things I believe And I don't care who sees Come get me, coward Have you ever felt like you were chosen I fear the lion among the swine Have your enemies encircled you and pierced your limbs I heard the call Now I'm shining like a lantern Burning to the millionth degree I can be your remedy I'll never fall Been like a lion at the altar Eating all of your misery I'm a pearl in a dead sea If you focus On what could have been It'll never be what could be You only need a shoulder to cry on If I could sort the mess of thorns that's wrapped around your heart With callous hands I choose to bleed And pull apart this web of teeth Designed to bide by the hands of God I guess that crown just ain't what you thought Life's a trainwreck in slow motion I'm a penny on the track Have you ever felt like you're abandoned A mere child among giants Have your confidants deserted you with all your sins I heard the call (just try, just try to stop me) Now I'm shining like a lantern Burning to the millionth degree I can be your remedy I'll never fall Been like a lion at the altar Eating all of your misery I'm a pearl in a dead sea Had enough, picture my life Think you're tough? You don't know strife Father looking who built a legacy I pour my heart but it won't stop beating Had enough, picture my life Think you're tough? You don't know strife Father looking who built a legacy I pour my heart but it won't stop beating I heard the call (just try, just try to stop me) Now I'm shining like a lantern Burning to the millionth degree I can be your remedy I'll never fall Been like a lion at the altar Eating all of your misery I'm a pearl in a dead sea I'm a pearl in a dead sea I'm a pearl in a dead sea
