Hold My Ground

Verse 1:

Everywhere I go, faceless people look at me. The silence tries to choke them,

though. It's obvious to see behind the darkness in those smiles and the stares

thrown out for hours are at this sinner known as me. Spotlights, are on, this

beautiful disaster. They still call me a psycho because I know I'm after; and I'll

travel through hell 'til my bones break and shatter, or I breathe my last breath

'cuz then you know it won't matter. If the, clock slowly runs out of time, I'm

condemned to make amends with demons of the mind. Sometimes it may

seem like, I'm crossing a line, but I don't care if I offend you I am done being

kind. Time to-

 

Chorus:

Unwind my life, pick up the pieces. No more strife, don't really need this. On

my own, I know you'll come around; and if you don't I'll die alone defend and

hold my ground. (x2)

 

Verse 2:

I'm stomping on my enemies as I hold my ground. I reverse the faded flash-

backs so they'll never be found. I know they, try to surround me thinking, "How

could this be?" I had to lock up all my pain and then I tossed away the key. My

heart was ash and embers no more feeling left in me. I was a dead, empty

shell because you destroyed me completely; but from the ashes I rose- a white

light in the distance. Had to rebuild myself head to toe and I haven't looked

back since and it will- always appear like I'm going insane in the brain. We all

have fears though, we're one in the same. We all have rage pouring out with all

the passion in our hearts. You'd think we're cannibals the way we tear others

apart. I'm so fucking fed up with being locked up in a cage. It's illegal being diff-

erent here in this day and age. I'm not afraid of what's going on in all of your

minds, and I don't care if you can't stand me. Guess you best get in line while I-

 

Chorus:

Unwind my life, pick up the pieces. No more strife, don't really need this. On

my own, I know you'll come around; and if you don't I'll die alone defend and

hold my ground. (x2)

 

Verse 3:

I gave my entire life to this whole-heartedly, and y'all got inside my head and

made me think I could be me. You played with my mind and expected honor

for free. Get on your knees and beg for your life. Cry it out, if you please; but

regardless of the prayers I swear you'll go to hell with me. Slipping out of your

grasp, I'll continue doing as I please; and don't be shocked when you find out

that you'll never brainwash me; but remember all the times you put this song

on repeat. I'll still-

 

Chorus:

Unwind my life, pick up the pieces. No more strife, don't really need this. On

my own, I know you'll come around; and if you don't I'll die alone defend and

hold my ground. (x2)

 

Outro:

Sometimes I wonder if this life was always meant to be. Filled with anger, rage,

and grief while hope's contained inside of me. But I'm letting it out and you can

hate me ';cuz I'm bright. That shit makes you look weak, and shows me I'm doin'

something right. So from here on out I'll be holding my ground; and I'll never

look down, 'cuz I know I'm unbound.
