[Verse 1]
I am a man who has suffered the loss
I notice all these promises broke with my heart
When I have thoughts of all these flaws, it reopen the scars
But don't judge it by it's effects without knowin' the cause
I learned to grow separate without growin' apart
The hate enlightens me cause I know it's love in the dark
The sayin' "pain is pleasure" becomin' an art
Of life or d**h at that point of a draw
I'm not afraid to fall cause I'll excell some
It's like I rise above these places I fell from
Like a safe landing is very seldom
Like one who's invited, don't mean you're welcome
These mountains I'm movin', you can not scale none
But continue to reach for what you are held from
My dreams always survive when they try to k** 'em
And it's helpin' me turn
All of my wounds to wisdom
[Hook x2]
You see I'm doin' what I can
But first impressions can be your last chance
And I finally understand
All these responsibilities as man
But I'm so far gone
I wonder if this the place I belong
Because I'm at a point of no return
But my heart is still close to home
[Verse 2]
Don't beg for permission, just ask for forgiveness
Cause man's actions is only good as his intentions
I'm still tryna learn how to have a careful distance
While travelin' with a heart that's not as winded
But before I'll ever live on my knees
I'll die on my feet, it's a fight, but still I breathe
Deep as the grave of any person deceased
Cause when I inhale it's mostly a reflection of me
See I define life as being breathtaking
We don't value what we have earned unless it's cremated
We can't predict the future unless we create it
But be yourself cause everybody else is taken
I can't keep givin' 'em help
I'm tired of draggin' dead weight along, bury
Yourself
My dreams always survive when they try to k** 'em
And it's helpin' me turn
All of my wounds to wisdom
[Hook x2]
