My will is a fortress of fate No matter what the pessimists say Hate me But I won't ever let up I embrace all the things I believe And I don't care who sees Come get me Coward Have you ever felt like you were chosen? A feared lion among the swine Have your enemies encircled you and pierced your limbs? I heard the call Now I'm shining like a lantern Burning to the millionth degree I can be your remedy I'll never fall Like an idol at the altar Eating all of your misery I'm a pearl in a dead sea If you focus On what could have been It'll never be what could be We all need a shoulder to cry on If I could sort the mess of thorns that wrap around your heart With calloused hands I'd choose to bleed And pull apart this web of teeth Designed to bite by the hands of God I guess that crown just ain't what you thought Life's a train wreck in slow motion I'm the penny on the track Have you ever felt like you're abandoned? A mere child among the giants Have your confidants deserted you in all your sins? I heard the call (Just try, just try to stop me) Now I'm shining like a lantern Burning to the millionth degree I can be your remedy I'll never fall (I'm not like you, I'll never cave) Like an idol at the altar Eating all of your misery I'm a pearl in a dead sea Had enough? Picture my life Think you're tough? You don't know strife Fathered a kingdom, built a legacy I poured my heart out But it won't stop beating Had enough? Picture my life Think you're tough? You don't know strife Fathered a kingdom, built a legacy I poured my heart out But it won't stop beating I heard the call (Just try, just try to stop me) Now I'm shining like a lantern Burning to the millionth degree I can be your remedy I'll never fall (I'm not like you, I'll never cave) Like an idol at the altar Eating all of your misery I'm a pearl in a dead sea I'm a pearl in a dead sea I'm a pearl in a dead sea
