I was inspired to create this song one gloomy day where I was feeling sad and dissatisfied about where i was at as a musician. I looked myself in the mirror and asked what I am willing to sacrifice to leave a legacy, an immortal footprint, behind through my music. I knew I would give my life for this, and spend the rest of it doing so.
Lyrics
Instead of denying
All of them wasted years you spent
Never admiring the way it felt stuck in that room
Where you sat alone, you cried alone
You can’t go on, when did it get so cold?
This ain’t what you want, then you wonder why
Your friends don’t call, your ex moved on
Your parents ain’t proud, you’re feeling down
Now you’re by yourself, who will save you then?
Who will give a damn man, you don’t need them
Put down them meds, pick up your pen
Pack that punch, step off that ledge
Make one last stand
Let them see that you got something worth dying for
Don’t you say the feelings will drown you
I know that believing is hard too
Don’t you say it if it ain’t what you’ll die for
I really want something to die for
Where you sat alone, you cried alone
You can’t go on, when did it get so cold?
This ain’t what you want, then you wonder why
I don’t wanna feel left out
I will not deny I lost a piece of me
Somewhere stuck inside this big city dream
If I told a lie it was a courtesy
I insist I’m fine but they don’t listen to me
Your friends don’t call, your ex moved on
Your parents ain’t proud, you’re feeling down
Now you’re by yourself, who will save you then?
Who will give a damn man, you don’t need them
Put down them meds, pick up your pen
Pack that punch, step off that ledge
Make one last stand
Let them see that you got something worth dying for
Don’t you say the feelings will drown you
I know that believing is hard too
Don’t you say it if it ain’t what you’ll die for
I really want something to die for
I don’t wanna feel left out
I don’t wanna feel left out
I don’t wanna feel left out
I don’t wanna feel left out
Your friends don’t call, your ex moved on
Your parents ain’t proud, you’re feeling down
Now you’re by yourself, who will save you then?
Who will give a damn man, you don’t need them
Put down them meds, pick up your pen
Pack that punch, step off that ledge
Make one last stand
Let them see that you got something worth dying for
Don’t you say the feelings will drown you
I know that believing is hard too
Don’t you say it if it ain’t what you’ll die for
I really want something to die for
