Lyrics

Yeah
I'm done living small
Yeah
Yeah
ThreeAM knuckles white
Pacing in the dark
Same fear new mask
Aiming for my heart
Don't speak
Don't jump
Don't risk what you can't save
But I'm tired of living
Like a dog in a cage
I swallowed my voice
To keep the peace
Held my breath so long
I forgot how to breathe
If safe means I quit
Everything I am
Then I'd rather bleed true
Right where I stand
Breathe in hold steady
Breathe out let it shake me
I'm not made of panic
I'm tempered
Heat me up pin me down
I don't turn to dust
Every strike says prove it
I'm not running I'm alive
I don't break
I bend
I don't fade
I fight again
Throw me in the fire
Watch the fear burn off my skin
If I fail I fail forward
At least I didn't quit
I'm tempered
I'm tempered
I'm tempered
I'm forged in it
Fear is the enemy
But it won't be the end of me
Fear is the enemy
But it won't be the end of me
I've got names on my chest
Like armor under skin
Hands that pull me back
When I'm caving in
And when heaven's silent
I still swing for the spark
Faith ain't always thunder
Sometimes it's doing my part
Pressure doesn't break me
It tells the truth
Shows what I'm made of
When I push through
Breathe in hold steady
Breathe out let it shake me
I'm not made of panic
I'm tempered
Heat me up pin me down
I don't turn to dust
Quench me in the water
I come back with lungs
I don't break
I bend
I don't fade
I fight again
Throw me in the fire
Watch the fear burn off my skin
If I fail I fail forward
At least I didn't quit
I'm tempered
I'm tempered
I'm tempered
In it
I'm tempered
Fear is the enemy
Won't be the end of me
Fear is the enemy
I don't break
I bend
I don't fade
I fight again
Throw me in the fire
Watch the fear burn off my skin
If I fail
At least I didn't quit
I'm tempered
I'm tempered
I'm tempered
Breathe in hold steady
Breathe out I'm ready
I'm tempered
