It takes more to drag me down,
to keep me from my goals,
to keep me from pressing forward on this road alone,
waking up every day to face my mistakes,
striving for a clean slate and better days.
Searching and hoping to find
My own way out alive
From this grave you've dug for me
Begging me to lie in it
But I won't heed your call
As a friend I tried my best to talk you from the ledge
But you refused my help and secluded yourself again
This selfish isolation might be for the best
To keep you from suppressing me like all the rest
I won't let my hope perish
There's no room for you
Mongering doubts and fears
I won't fall prey to this
Burning away
with everything
That made you smile
And brought joy to your heart
I will find my own way
To make it through the day
I won't let myself
Be led astray
I've built a foundation
I'll defend it with my all
Searching and hoping to find
My own way out alive
From this grave you've dug for me
Begging me to lie in it
But I won't heed your call
I won't take the fall for this
I'm taking back control
To finish what I've started
