Open Wounds

The days are passing and it feels like I’m just striking out

My head is spinning and my feet won’t even touch the ground

It’s really funny how I thought I had it figured out

But shit is crazy

Mom, I’m thankful for your wisdom now

Wow, and I remember what you told me

Back in ‘98 when I was young and I knew nothing

“People come and go

And only find you when you’re shining

But the moment it all hit the

Floor

Then suddenly you’re nothing” huh

But guess what?

I’m standing here til the end today

And even though I’m so afraid of how tomorrow ends

I’ll hold my fist up to the sky until there’s nothing left

Yeah, until there’s nothing left

Facing the truth to open these wounds

(They open up now)

Confiding in the silence, keeping me from fighting

(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

Facing the truth, nothing left to lose

(Nothing left now)

Pain helps me remember I will not surrender

(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

As time flies, I realize

The world is only getting colder

As I’m getting older, now I see the lies

Pick a side and tell me why

Every time I try to share the truth

They look at me like I was never right

And they right

But as my days were getting colder

Getting lost in music fought the devil off my shoulder

Pick up every album cause their words would make me sober

But the reason it all felt so real, we shared the same emotions, man

So, guess what?

I’m standing here til the end today

And even though I’m so afraid of how tomorrow ends

I’ll hold my fist up to the sky until there’s nothing left

Yeah, until there’s nothing left

Facing the truth to open these wounds

(They open up now)

Confiding in the silence, keeping me from fighting

(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

Facing the truth, nothing left to lose

(Nothing left now)

Pain helps me remember I will not surrender

(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

Never back down

Never back down

Never, never back down

Never

Change

Tell me now what its really like?

If you were wrong would you do it right?

If you could do it twice would you do it like this?

(Like this, like this, like this)

But you can’t, this is real life

If you wanna go get it

Gotta do the climb

If you don’t

Would you run away?

Would you run away?

Facing the truth to open these wounds

(They open up now)

Confiding in the silence, keeping me from fighting

(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

Facing the truth, nothing left to lose

(Nothing left now)

Pain helps me remember I will not surrender

(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

Never back down

Never back down

Never, never back down

Never
