A Pearl In A Dead Sea

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 (if you) focus (focus) on what you've been

You'll never crave what could be

We all need a shoulder to cry on

If I could sort the mess of the 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'm never gonna cave

Like an idol at the altar, eating all of your misery

I'm a pearl in a Dead Sea

Had enough? (Had enough?)

Picture my life (picture my life)

Think you're tough? (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? (Had enough?)

Picture my life (picture my life)

Think you're tough? (Think you're tough?)

You don't know strife

Fathered a kingdom, built a legacy
