Perseverance

Another face in the dirt She's just a joke to you I hope you laugh it up As she's crying in her bedroom Window blinds shut It's easier to cut Get away from the world And your passive trust This is just a game With friends to hide behind But playing's not so fun When it results in suicide These goddamned kids learn too late The repercussions of their words Lead to heartache Keep your head up, princess I know it's hard to breathe When you starve roots underneath A cut will turn to scars in time But you shouldn't have to pay For the failure's mistakes This will come to pass Another chapter down The story's changing so fast These shadows they will not last These shadows they will not last How could you look In your daughter's precious eyes And promise her Everything will be just fine But you walked right out the door Now she doesn't have her father Anymore You were better dead At least there's closure You would have gone out the hero That you showed her The worst mistake Was coming back to her life Now the hero has become the strife Keep your head up, princess I know it's hard to breathe When you starve roots underneath A cut will turn to scars in time But you shouldn't have to pay For the failure's mistakes This will come to pass Another chapter down The story's changing so fast These shadows they will not last Don't let them get Under your skin You're better than them Now go prove it Keep your head up, princess I know it's hard to breathe When you starve roots underneath A cut will turn to scars in time But you shouldn't have to pay For the failure's mistakes This will come to pass Another chapter down The story's changing so fast These shadows they will not last These shadows they will not last (These shadows they will not last)
