Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fiction you made up to believe
Lives on a screen but it's not reality
Actions that you didn't take
Is why you're concerned with the ones that I make
Now you've noticed your day slipping fast
Was it well spent or were you stepping back?
You counted all my blessings as you went
Leaving your mark of discontent
[Verse 2]
(This I earned)
I wasn't born with it
I bled for this
Be bound to your word
When you live by it
You prove your worth
[Verse 3]
(This I earned)
It wasn't handed to me
I did what I had to
Be bound to your word
It's not what you deserve, you get what you earn
[Verse 4]
Don't indulge in delusions to satisfy
I don't escape today with dreams gone by
Perfection of the present doesn't exist
The future's at stake, it isn't granted
[Verse 5]
For this I bled
For this I bled
My blood I shed for this
[Verse 6]
You want a future worth fighting for?
With skin in the game?
Be bound to your word
Everything is at stake
[Verse 7]
My blood
My blood I shed for this
My blood
My blood I shed for this
[Verse 8]
You think this was handed to me?
Some offering taken at birth
I've withstood every hardship
To prove myself of worth
[Verse 9]
(This I earned)
I wasn't born with it
I bled for this
Be bound to your word
When you live by it
You prove your worth
(This I earned)
It wasn't handed to me
I did what I had to
Be bound to your word
It's not what you deserve, you get what you earn
[Verse 10]
Earned in blood
A life that's well deserved
Take what's due
Once you prove your worth
(Earn it)
