When your mind says give up
 Hope whispers one more time 
When you're drowned by bad luck 
Just swim to the other side 
It will hold you down
 spin your world around 
It will pin you to the floor and
 throw you against these walls
 And I'm a slave to it all

 Just a puppet pulling back on my strings I wanna be free
 Grab them like they're reigns and ride into the Galaxy
 You won't keep me down I'll fight against the gravity 
Pushing back against the weight that's on top of me 
No one said it would be easy and
 I knew it from the start 
I won't be defeated or beaten 
I've been broken bruised and scarred 
It won't always be on your side
 but it will always light the way 
If you can find it through the darkness amongst all the mess
 You'll be heading for better days
 And I'm a slave to it all 

 
No matter what happens to me I'm gonna be fine 
Take control of my life I'm gonna make it mine
 Step back have a look tell me what you can see
 Pushing back against the weight that's on top of me  


You can't hold me down! 
For the first time in my life I can see what's right in front of me 
 To blue skies from dark nights and fist fights with myself
I lost sight  
And I'm a slave to it all

No matter how hard I'm sure that we will be 
I know you said we're unpredictable
 The bad things we've heard we can't believe 
Every time I turn my back something's been said
 People never change I need to know there is a better place to go 

 
Know what it's like to fight on my own
 The mistakes I have always hung over my head
 Are surely here to stay unless I change my ways
 One day I'll learn this is how we made it

 
Battles bombarding us from left and right
 No point running now we are consumed in the fight  
Times get hard but we get harder 
Let's go back to when we first started
 A circle that we’re in it finishes where it begins 
A circle that we're in you know there is no better place to go 
I've never seen the grain in your eyes more than I can see right now 
Two twisted minds entwined the love is trapped inside  

Every time that I turn around a reason to leave is there to be found
 When I turn around a reason to stay is there to be found
 When I turn around a reason to leave is there to be found When I turn around a reason to stay is there to be found 

 Know what it's like what it's like to fight on my own It makes me wanna scream
 Why me One day I'll learn this is how we made it  
One day I'll learn this is how we made it

Everyday it starts the same Open my eyes and hear my name 
Telling me I need to make a change
 Stand right up make this your day
 and Start to live this life your way accept your fate don't be afraid
 I pledge to live this life my way
 cast off the anchors that I made
 These shattered chains won't hold me back 
I'm heading for the stars

 
It's my life and I can't wait till it begins 
and I tried a new change 
from what I was in
 Offline when I felt I couldn’t win 
I died just to rise and try again 
 
This time I know that I won't fail
 Moving on through snow or hail  
This ship will pull me through 
Full sail in strong gales
 Everyday It ends the same close my eyes and I hear my name  
These screams in my dreams are driving me insane
 So stand right up make this your day 
It’s time to live this life your way
Accept your fate don't be afraid 

 Chase everything that I desire 
I've got to fight the fire
 Everything that lights up to burn me down
 Everyone inside this town 

 I was always the one who took all things to heart
 Never go back that far I've got a fresh mind new start 
Hear it when I scream it it’s a brand new day  
Steam train rolling with max gain on rough rails
 If the tracks I roll become frail I will never fall back I will never fail 
Full sail in strong gales

Reflections 04:01
I was staring at a screen that's showing every part of me
 All my colours all my demons my sins can be seen
 I can't hide it I can't fight it trust me I have tried 
Give me another chance and I'll tear the darkness from the night  

 
Reflections of my whole life I'll cut down with this knife I don't like what I see, And I will fight until I'm satisfied  
With my life and who I want to be

 I can't stop beating myself up I'm bleeding 
Everybody's got something that's dark inside 
Lay awake every night my eyes burnt from the bright lights that shine on my life giving up what I've got to hide 
Roll over everything's gonna be alright 
Close my eyes breathe deep
 Feel good vibes inside and keep it there
 Let go don't stare 
Just get some fucking sleep 
The light refracts the fact that you're not intact You can't attack fractures and cracks but you can't turn back  
Just step inside you'll realise where true love lies Not inside that disguise but behind your own eyes  
The fact is you're not intact 
But you can't turn back
 Just step inside you'll realise where true love lies Not inside that disguise but inside your own mind
