Sandcastle Kingdoms

Live Long Enough to Become the Hero

I'm down but you know I'm not out

I got another round

Second wind and it's picking me up

Right off the ground

(I'm coming back again!)

Can't break me, I'm not givin' up

I gotta prove them wrong

Take your time 'cause I'm not taking mine

I gotta stand up strong

Voice in my head said to keep on going

Don't let 'em see you bleed, don't want your weakness showing

Need you to see me

If you could just believe me

Tell me it'll all be fine

That's a lie, if I don't reach out then how could it be mine?

Need you to see me

And know what it's like to be me

If you could just believe me

Lost sight and my knuckles are white

Not gonna break and bend

My whole world was crumbling down

But I'll still mend

My bones, my skin, breaking down, wearing thin

Won't break my will, no I'm not giving in

What doesn't kill you's bound to come back for another

You gotta fall, you wanna walk out stronger

Voice in my head said to keep on going

Don't let 'em see you bleed, don't want your weakness showing

Need you to see me

If you could just believe me

Tell me it'll all be fine

That's a lie, if I don't reach out then how could it be mine?

Need you to see me

And know what it's like to be me

If you could just believe me

I found the strength and now I know where I can confide

I found a way to tame my own monster inside

I made my way and now I see it, I can reach it now

Hold on to me, be sure you've got it memorised

Yeah, we'll survive the night

Voice in my head said to keep on going

Don't let 'em see you bleed, don't want your weakness showing

Need you to see me

If you could just believe me

Tell me it'll all be fine

That's a lie, if I don't reach out then how could it be mine?

Need you to see me

And know what it's like to be me

If you could just believe me.
