Endurance

Take 'em in, take in every single piece of steel
So it wouldn't go against you with the aching that you feel
Take 'em in, never shy away from any pain
So the body and the mind will have everything to gain
Do not run away, don't be taking anything
Do not shy away, don't be faking anything
Let 'em in, tell your mind the pain is here to stay
Then your mind will learn to get along in any simple way
Never let 'em take up all the space inside your head
You know it belongs to you, that should always be unsaid
Never let 'em take up all the space inside your mind
You're the one that's in control, never will you fall behind
Ride upon the clock, I been riding through the days
Never will it stop, forward is the only way
Riding in the clock, I been riding through the storm
This is where I learned to swim, this is where my mind is formed

Second life, second life, how many do I have left?
In the night, in the night, is when I'm paying up the debt
Riding in the clock, I been riding through the storm
This is where I learned to swim, this is where my mind is formed
Second life, second life, I would never say I'm set
Nothing right, nothing right, everything is going left
This the kind of thing that keep you grounded when you wasn't sure
This the kind of thing that would be testing if you would endure

Second life is given but I'll never stay in here
I will find a way to rise, I will battle 'till it's clear
Cloudy days would cover up the light within the sky
It would always cover, I should always question why
When the pain is forming you are given couple options
Fucking up the meds, you are told to follow caution
Pain is forming in your head, there's another choice
Letting and accepting what would now be known as noise
So much power in the mind we don't even know
Lot of things we could be doing, many areas we could grow
Dreaming is an element created from the mind
Through imaginative process that we tend to leave behind
There are times when you would feel a dream had brought you down
Cause a nightmare so relatable was taking over town
This the kind of thing that keep you grounded when you wasn't sure
This the kind of thing that would be testing if you would endure

Second life, second life, how many do I have left?
In the night, in the night, is when I'm paying up the debt
Riding in the clock, I been riding through the storm
This is where I learned to swim, this is where my mind is formed
Second life, second life, I would never say I'm set
Nothing right, nothing right, everything is going left
This the kind of thing that keep you grounded when you wasn't sure
This the kind of thing that would be testing if you would endure

How long can you go without seeing a face?
Not talking to one, or even being with one?
How long can you go without being afraid?
Clouds are over the sun before it even begun

How long can you go without seeing a face?
Or just talking to one? When your problem begun?
How long can you go without seeing a face?
When you're having no fun? I'm not under the sun
Got me thinking 'bout the moments where I'm missing the feel
And communication for connecting out in the field
How long can you go without being embraced?
You're the only here, nothing you can erase
How much can you take listening to your mind?
That is all you can hear, saying you are behind
How long 'till you wish you are deaf and you're blind?
Is it sooner than late? And you cannot rewind?
How long can you go without seeing a face?
Not talking to one, or even being with one?
How long can you go without seeing a face?
Clouds are over the sun before it even begun

How far can you go saying that you would fight?
How long can you stay up when you would write?
How much do you know 'bout staying up right?
How long can you stay gentle in the good night?
In the gentle good night?
