Open Wounds

The days are passing and it feels like I'm just striking out
My head is spinning and my feet won't even touch the ground
It's really funny how I thought I had it figured out
But shit is crazy
Mom, I'm thankful for your wisdom now
Wow, and I remember what you told me
Back in '98 when I was young and I knew nothing
"People come and go,
and only find you when you're shining, but the moment it all hit the
Floor
Then suddenly you're nothing" huh
But guess what?
I'm standing here til the end today
And even though I'm so afraid of how tomorrow ends
I'll hold my fist up to the sky until there's nothing left
Yeah, until there's nothing left

Facing the truth to open these wounds
(they open up now)
Confiding in the silence, keeping me from fighting
(Would you run away, would you would you run away)
Facing the truth, nothing left to lose
(Nothing left now)
Pain helps me remember I will not surrender
(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

As time flies, I realize
The world is only getting colder,
as I'm getting older, now I see the lies
Pick a side and tell me why
Every time I try to share the truth
they look at me like I was never right
And they right
But as my days were getting colder
Getting lost in music fought the devil off my shoulder
Pick up every album cause their words would make me sober
But the reason it all felt so real, we shared the same emotions, man
So, guess what?
I'm standing here til the end today
And even though I'm so afraid of how tomorrow ends
I'll hold my fist up to the sky until there's nothing left
Yeah, until there's nothing left

Facing the truth to open these wounds
(they open up now)
Confiding in the silence, keeping me from fighting
(Would you run away, would you would you run away)
Facing the truth, nothing left to lose
(Nothing left now)
Pain helps me remember I will not surrender
(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

Never back down
Never back down
Never, never back down
Never

Change
Tell me now what its really like?
If you were wrong would you do it right?
If you could do it twice would you do it like this?
(Like this, like this, like this)
But you can't, this is real life
If you wanna go get it
Gotta do the climb
If you don't
Would you run away?
Would you run away?

Facing the truth to open these wounds
(they open up now)
Confiding in the silence, keeping me from fighting
(Would you run away, would you would you run away)
Facing the truth, nothing left to lose
(Nothing left now)
Pain helps me remember I will not surrender
(Would you run away, would you would you run away)

Never back down
Never back down
Never, never back down
