lyrics

Constantly sewing together your own foundation
Just prolonging the inevitable

This is the part where I find a new low
And even with all of these changes I made
I still feel worse than I did before
So what did I really change?

The uncertainty makes me want to feel nothing at all
Nothing at all

But I know
But I know I can get through this
The storm will pass and i will rebuild what was taken from me
All that was taken from me

Brick by brick
Stone by stone
I will rebuild what was stolen
I will rebuild what was taken from me
All that I once had

I will be stronger than ever before
Unstoppable
A force to be reckoned with
Unstoppable
A force to be reckoned with

I would rather find distraction
Than engulf myself in pain
The fire is rising
It's building and climbing
Engulf myself in flames

This is the part where I find a new low
And even with all of these changes I made
I still feel worse than I did before
So what did I really change?

Learn to live with this bearing weight and cloud above my head
Because this, this is the way it stands to be and what I must deal with and deal with alone

And at last
I've come to terms with what lies ahead but I refuse to let it be
There may be things out of my control but they will not run my life

Everyday is just a struggle to feel anything but pain
When will it end
Will this darkness descend
And what from this will I gain

Learn to live with this bearing weight and cloud above my head
Because this, this is the way it stands to be and what I must deal with and deal with alone
