Illuminated by these city lights
The road before me opens
Contemplation of my past
It leaves me stranded and I'm hoping
That I'm done with these ghosts
They say to be more like my father
This life is my own
And I know that I would...

Rather not stop until my feet are bleeding
Leave your footprints here as breadcrumbs
For the demons you're feeding
See the faces of the people
That I used to believe in
Let them know I'm okay
And let them know I'm still breathing

Yesterday seems so far away
I suffer for the mistakes that i've made
Let them go

They often say that time repeats itself
But not on my watch
See i'll be the fledgling that will leave this nest
And leaves a shell that history forgot

A suitcase weighted down with memories
I left behind my keepsakes
Firm reminders of my past
Ridicule me for mistakes
I'm still done with these ghosts
I'll be nothing like my father
The path I take is my own
And I know that I would...

Rather not stop until my feet are bleeding
Leave your footsteps here as breadcrumbs
For the demons you're feeding
See the faces of the people
That I used to believe in
Let them know I'm okay
And let them know I'm still breathing

Forgotten
A life I tried to leave behind
All I wanted was a little peace of mind
I sold my soul for another chance
Until you've been in my shoes
You will never understand

I will overcome

See the faces of the people that I used to believe in
Because I know that I would...

Rather not stop until my feet are bleeding
Leave your footsteps here as breadcrumbs
For the demons you're feeding
See the faces of the people
That I used to believe in
Let them know I'm okay
And let them know I'm still breathing
