It's time to set the record straight

Then hopefully you don't just fade out

Doing what we have to, to survive

I've been waiting far too long to give up all hope

That my heart is strong enough to stay alive



I know my wounds will heal with time

but still I wear all my scars with pride



When the push comes to shove

I'll shove it down your throat

So before you mess it all up

Make sure like hell you don't

If you try to take me out

You best break all my bones

So before you mess it all up

Make sure like hell you don't



I know that every word I've said has fallen short of being clever

But think I think you get the picture

I've been working too damn hard to give in to pressure

But it doesn't mean the walls aren't caving in
