Blood and dust Sweat and smoke I hold my tongue until I choke Bring myself to pay for these stones that feel, the hurt we feel What's a man without a soul waiting for life? Cut me down, and watch me bleed I made you king, so shame on me Unbroken ground, sacrificed The lost to found, Fools' Paradise But I'm a man who needs to hope, You can't make me hype I won't let myself be forgiven, I won't say that I've done wrong You say I'm stuck in my ways, but out of my mind Did what I did 'cause I had to survive I won't let myself be forgiven, I don't need to justify! If it's too much for you to take, Then save yourself and walk away 'Cause we can't stand on shaken stone Head to head, two hearts alone We've got nothing else to hold, But it don't make it right. I won't let myself be forgiven, I won't say that I've done wrong You say I'm stuck in my ways, but out of my mind Did what I did 'cause I had to survive I won't let myself be forgiven, I don't need to justify! I can't deny, baby you to save me, What if I need just to fall? I won't let myself be forgiven, I won't say that I've done wrong I've been stuck in my ways, but out of my mind Did what I did 'cause I had to survive I won't let myself be forgiven, I don't need to justify!
