The past has been carved in my veins,
the future remains, and I carried onward
Struggled all my life in the name

of fortune and fame
now I stand before you


You have tried to keep me bounded to the ground
your chains of hate are no match for the love that I have found


You stood watching me as I carved my heart from gold
you watched and laughed as my lungs turned to stone
I'm alive now, I'm awake

I can see all my mistakes
and I'll never let your hate drag me down


I guess the road less traveled has always been the one that has caught my eye
The fact you never supported me was sadly never a surprise


I can see the light at the end of the tunnel shining oh so bright
I can see the moon in the clouds
and the stars that are resting in the night sky

I feel it coming alive

You live, you live

you die, your dead
I just can't believe your gone,
but I'm still standing here in my skin

the same one you promised me that I'd fail in

You stood watching me as I carved my heart from gold

you watched and laughed as my lungs turned to stone
I'm alive now, I'm awake
I can see all my mistakes

and I'll never let your hate drag me down
