Blood and dust

Sweat and smoke

I hold my tongue till I choke

Bring myself to pay for these stones that feel the hurt we feel

What's a man without a soul waiting for life?

Cut me down and watch me bleed

I made you king so shame on me

On broken ground sacrificed

The lost to found fools paradise

But I'm a man who needs to hope

You can't make me high

I won't let myself be forgiven

I won't say that I've done wrong

You say I'm stuck in my ways but I know my mind

Did what I did because I had to survive

But I won't let myself be forgiven

I don't need to justify

If it's too much for you to take

Then save yourself and walk away

Because we can't stand on shaken stone

Head to head two hearts alone

We've got nothing else to hold

But it don't make it right

I won't let myself be forgiven

I won't say that I've done wrong

You say I'm stuck in my ways but I know my mind

Did what I did because I had to survive

I won't let myself be forgiven

I don't need to justify

Got to know me

I can't deny

Baby you could save me

What if I need just to fall

I won't let myself be forgiven

I won't say that I've done wrong

I've been stuck in my ways but I know my mind

Did what I did because I had to survive

I won't let myself be forgiven

I don't need to justify
