Somewhere I lost it
Walking the fence between my anger and its bitterness
Do I call it quits?
Does my sanity have what it takes to afford the damage?

Fighting with everything I am to hold it together
Looking back in shame and regret at all the ties I've severed
I'm spinning out of control, I'm one half of a whole
I've lost faith in myself, nowhere to go

As I dismiss responsibility, avoid opportunity
Just to achieve my temporary relief
With death and hate as far as my eyes can see
And every anchor of pain and self-deat chained to me

I laugh in failures face and I throw it away
Throw it away
Throw it away

And the hell that I've paid
Is nothing compared to the monster that I face
And sometimes it seems I haven't learned anything
But I will die before I let this world bury me
Bury me

I'm breaking away from pain and self-defiance
I've found my way in faith and self-reliance
And I can say I stood to face the giant
But if I die, at least I'll die a lion
At least I'll die a lion
At least I'll die a lion
At least I'll die a lion
At least I'll die a lion
