Testo Im Still Here - Independentmusicart
Testo della canzone Im Still Here (Independentmusicart), tratta dall'album Im Still Here - Single
I came into this world with a target on my back
Taught the meaning of pain before the screen went black
No soft hands to hold me, just a fist and a belt (and a belt)
Learning how to swallow every burn that I felt (that I felt)
They tell you pray to God, but the ceiling is lit (ceiling is lit)
And the silence is heavy when you're wishing you're dead (you're dead)
I've been a stranger to peace since my very first breath (breath)
Just a man playing poker with the shadow of death (death)
And there ain't nobody coming to save me now
I'm the only one left who can't remember how to stand
In the wreckage and the spit in the eye of a world
That's been waiting for the day that I die
It's a life-and-death war and a rule by myself
While the Bible sits dusty on a broken-down shelf
I'm my own only witness, I'm my own only friend
Fighting like hell just to reach the goddamn end
Yeah
They talk about moving on like it's easy to do
When you're carrying a ghost that's been beating on you
Every scar is a map of a place I survived
A miracle, a spite that I'm even alive
I drive past the houses with the lights burning bright
Knowing damn well I'm the monster of the night
No one's checking the phone, no one's calling my name
I'm just a man standing solo in the middle of the fray
So, keep your mercy and keep your time
I've been paying for a life that wasn't even a crime
I don't need a lecture on how to be okay
I just need to make it through the rest of the day
Because there ain't nobody coming to save me now
I'm the only one left who can't remember how to stand
In the wreckage and spit in the eye
Of a world that's been waiting for the day that I die
It's a life-and-death war in a room by myself
While the Bible sits dusty on a broken-down shelf
I'm my own only witness, I'm my own only friend
Fighting like hell just to reach the goddamn end
Yeah, I'm still here
No, thanks to you
No, thanks to anyone
I'm still here
