i have danced underwater with the angel of death prayed for the comfort of my final breathlost the will to come up for air
too tired to try and too tired to care
i have bet on god to see what he was worth
cursed my mother for my bitter birth
reached for the sky so i could have it all
only to see how far i could fall
waited on wisdom waited on fate
waited on courage til it was too late
but i am
i am still
i am still here
still here
but i am
i am still
i am still here
still here
breathing
i have hung from a gallows of my own design
kicked over the chair to see what i would find
sold my soul for a diamond ring
soon found out it didn't mean a thing
i have carved my demons into flesh and bone
told everybody to just leave me alone
sold my freedom for a bitter pill
gave my testament but lost my will
