Wreckage

(album: Salvation - 2015)

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
