There's a voice inside that haunts me, it wants the light 
 I'm ashamed of this, it's on me to make it right 
 Sew the seams 'cause this is not the end 
 No, I will not give in this time 
 Not afraid of pain, I won't be tonight 
    Turning the page, finding the way 
 Learn from the fire   
 I've been burned and I've been bruised 
 But I face the demons with nothing to lose 
 Never let 'em hold me down to the ground 
 I'm makin' it through 'cause I write the story   
 In the sands of hate I've buried myself alive 
 Just to find my fate was to carry the weight of my pride 
 Sew the seams 'cause this is not the end 
 No, I will not give in this time 
 Paint me black but I will never fade 
 No, I won't fade into the night   
 I've been burned and I've been bruised 
 But I face the demons with nothing to lose 
 Never let 'em hold me down to the ground 
 I'm makin' it through 'cause I write the story   
 I've been blind and I've been broke 
 But I find the answers the way that I know 
 I'll never let 'em hold me down to the ground 
 I'm holdin' my own 'cause I write the story   
 Sew the seams 'cause this is not the end 
 No, I will not give in this time 
 Paint me black but I will never fade 
 No, I won't fade into the night   
 I've been burned and I've been bruised 
 But I face the demons with nothing to lose 
 Never let 'em hold me down to the ground 
 I'm makin' it through 'cause I write the story   
 I've been blind and I've been broke 
 But I find the answers the way that I know 
 I'll never let 'em hold me down to the ground 
 I'm holdin' my own 'cause I write the story   
 I'll carry the weight of my pride
