Drunkard's Walk Forums

scrapes on my hands
blood on my knees
I pick myself up
by my own beliefs
I carry my sins
no need to confess
won’t scream out for mercy
when it puts me through hell

I set it on fire
I lay it to rest
here’s to the hurt
so I wouldn’t forget
my heart can survive it
I’m stronger than this

they ain’t built a weapon
that could kill me yet

don’t need saving
to save myself
don’t need forgiveness
to bless my guilt
lost my faith
and found belief
in my redemption
I’m my own redemption

took back my life
through an ocean of tears
in a hole down so deep
suffocating from fear
running from purpose
while losing my grip
building the walls
that built me
brick by brick

so here’s to the dagger
the sword and the pain
if not for the dirt
the shovel
the grave
a shock to the system
that opened my eyes
and made me believe

I don’t need saving
to save myself
don’t need forgiveness
to bless my guilt
lost my faith
and found belief
in my redemption
I’m my own redemption

don’t need praying
to find my hope
don’t need heaven
to save my soul
fell from grace
just to believe
in my redemption
I’m my own redemption

I set it on fire
I lay it to rest
my heart can survive it
I’m stronger than this
they ain’t built a weapon
that could kill me yet
