I want to be the person That I was made to be I've only scratched the surface I'm giving everything I am never defined by the mistakes I've made I have a purpose to exist, I've got something to say There is a hope despite shortcomings we face Got no love Got no grace Through thick and thin we must stay strong We won't lose sight, we will prevail, we will overcome Through thick and thin we must stay strong We won't lose sight, we will prevail, we will overcome These ghosts still haunt me It's all I have on these sleepless nights Show me that I can still be saved Show me that I'm worth saving I know who I am Mistakes are what made me Your words, they can't change me So go waste your breath somewhere else I've heard it all before so keep it to yourself Keep it to yourself I'm not a prophet, I don't have all the answers Transparent, imperfect, lost, still fighting the cancer We often ask ourselves "Is life really worth it?" How quickly we forget every life has a purpose I am revival I am revival The turning point to a close minded race Open your mind, we all bleed the same One day they'll stand at the foot of my grave I can't help but wonder what they will say Life is a vapor, you only get one chance Will you move forward with open heart and hands? These ghosts still haunt me It's all I have on these sleepless nights Show me that I can still be saved Show me that I'm worth saving I want to be the person That I was made to be I've only scratched the surface I'm giving everything This life is mine This time I play for keeps This life is mine

Feels like I'm caught in a whirlwind inside my head I'm my own natural disaster beneath my skin I can't explain and you just won't get it I can't numb the pain, it's all I think about I can't explain and you just won't get it I can't numb the pain I'm too deep to believe I can face myself It's hard not to give up when you go through hell I'm trapped in my skin This is my prison Behind the bars I create for myself (No one else to blame) Alone and helpless I'm tied to all this (Living in my chains) I can't explain and you just won't get it I can't numb the pain I'm too deep to believe I can face myself It's hard not to give up when you go through hell I'm trapped in my skin This is my prison I can't explain and you'll never get it So tell me what's the point now I can't explain and you just won't get it I can't numb the pain, numb the pain I'm too deep to believe I can face myself It's hard not to give up when you go through hell I'm trapped in my skin This is my prison I'm trapped in my skin, this is my prison This is my prison

I'm losing hope, I'm out of touch Too late to say I've had enough It's like every breath could be my last My demons won't stay in the past All alone On my own Pull me close, I feel the water reach around my neck Don't let go, just show me that there's better days ahead Make me see I'm only half the person I should be Pull me close, set me free from this gravity I can't run forward and keep looking back Hindsight has left me where I'm at I tried to run but I couldn't see That you were right beside me All alone On my own Pull me close, I feel the water reach around my neck Don't let go, just show me that there's better days ahead Make me see I'm only half the person I should be Pull me close, set me free from this gravity There is a light in the tunnel, but it's distant On my own and I don't think that I can fix this Set me free from this gravity Pull me close, I feel the water reach around my neck Don't let go, just show me that there's better days ahead Make me see I'm only half the person I should be Pull me close, set me free from this gravity Pull me close, set me free from this gravity
