Time is running out and when it's gone it's gone. But I can't turn my back On all the blood and sweat I've shed, On this lonely path I tread. Where only stubborn men like me Have the heart to walk and face the harsh reality Of following a dream. I'll be the first to strike the match I'd rather bleed out before I burn to death. I know I said that I was so much more than this But that was then, I've gone through some things since. I know I said that I was so much more But here I am still broken down. So I bite the bullet with crooked teeth. Who ever said "Time heals all" Better start practicing what they preach. 'Cause I've taken nothing from your words. You try and sway me. Tell me this is all for nothing But I stay chained to the only thing I love. Just take me back To when I had the chance. No where to go, but up. This place can turn and honest kid Into a man of cowardice. I know I said that I was so much more than this But that was then. I've gone through some things since. I know I said that I was so much more But here I am, still broken down.
