A Shark Among Us - Assurance lyrics

At this point of my life It comes as no surprise I've watched 5 plus years Slowly pa** me by This is not the place I thought I'd be An empty room, I'm too afraid to leave I thought escape was out of reach Until I heard a voice a**uring I'd succeed So now I know the only true defeat Is settling for less than you know you need To go without cause a lack of drive Is giving up too young and choosing where you die With every breathe and every action you said I did this all for you and through the message you lived to show me I know, what I have to do I'll stand up for my dreams (for my dreams) And everyone that stands behind me This time around, I'll make you proud x2 I'll live my life in dedication to what you wanted most To fight for what I know is right, paying homage to your ghost I'll be moving forward while keeping you in mind So you can see what we created in this short amount of time I'll put everything I have into this To build something greater than we could ever predict And leave our mark, so they'll never forget That failures not an option in the life I live The path I chose or the effort I give Its done for you and everything you did The sacrifices you made are why I do it for you It's all for you x3 I know before that I let you down Well I promise now/this time/ill make you proud x2 And although it seems so distant I've got nothing if I'm not persistent It's never ending x2
