My Heartbeat (feat. Vai5000)

If you told me a while ago that this'd be what I'm doing
I'd have looked at you funny
'Cause I thought that misfortune striking my life
Was written in my destiny
But, I'm here
I walk amongst a pathway filled with flowers
And I can feel life gracing my skin
And the blood in my vein empowers

This threat to me is neutralized 'cause I
Feel myself breathe in life
The pain comes out my system
Through these joys in life, I listen
And I know that every day won't be okay
That's a naive thing to say
Just take it one step at a time down each street
I feel my heartbeat

I've survived it all, I can stand, won't fall
Look into my eyes, mirror on my-
(Didn't think I'd still hear my heartbeat)
(When I see myself, I can't see the past me)
All the things that I said, I thought I would go
I thought I'd be dead, but I made it
(For me, heartbeat)

Can't feel my own heart, it hurts me
All around me, nonstop talking
I can see my blood, it's crawling
Out of me
Scratches on my skin, I'm bleeding
Numb the pain, I've lost all feeling
You don't know what I really need
Let me die
I'll try stand battle with everything inside my head
Wait for the day, I don't care
Stay by my side, it pulses
Feel my heart pound in my chest
I need to get up, need to love
Give me hope, help me up
I'll survive
I'll survive
Heart pounds I-
I'll survive
I'll go on
I'll make it
Look back and feel that it's all over
