Alone I Stand

Pacing through life Feeling constant shame I'll drag this bag of bones Despite this endless pain Heavy thoughts keep my eyes fixed to the floor This constant cycle's left me Wanting more I find myself Walking through these mistakes Open my heart up For all to see what they can take Looks like I'm fooled again Thinking things could change I'll let you tear me down But one thing still remains I am a man More than this world thinks of me Alone I stand In spite of all who judge me I am a man More than this world sees of me Alone I stand No one stands above me My legs drag heavy From the weight of this cross You stone me Condone me Now my trust is lost You've kept my belly full Feeding me your lies You can't swallow the truth But still look me in the eyes I am a man More than this world thinks of me Alone I stand In spite of all who judge me I am a man More than this world sees of me Alone I stand No one stands above me Exhuming Refuting Won't let this life consume me You'll see me You'll hear me My words ring oh so clearly Slam your gavel down I will remain free I won't shut my mouth You'll never silence me Paint your words on me Color me a liar You can't save this bridge From this raging fire I am a man More than this world thinks of me Alone I stand In spite of all who judge me I am a man More than this world sees of me Alone I stand No one stands above me Rise from these flames Leave what remains I'll be whole again soon Rise from these flames Leave what remains I'll be whole again soon Rise from these flames Leave what remains I'll be whole again soon Rise from these flames Leave what remains I'll be whole again soon
