This has been finished for a while, just forgot to post.
Someday, I'll look back and think that
Today's the day I woke up and saw myself for who I am
I can't believe I got that bad
There has to be a better way
Than cutting off a piece just for the sake
Of being worried that we'll never make it
Out of this place alive.
So, today I'll make my way
Across the threshold of this sad state.
I'm not giving in
Nor looking back
I'm not selling my soul
to the devil that took my home.
This is the start of something
Bigger than the walls we're tearing down
that separate who we want to be
And who we always were
This is the risk I'm taking
I've got better chances to lose than winning.
That's not the point I'm trying to make
It's that giving up leaves such a bitter taste
I started off thinkng I was something I wasn't.
Now, I realize I was always a constant
Precedent for all of those
Who wish they had something
Left to get a taste
Of the world that got away.
My hometown gets worse everytime that I visit.
Almost everyone I knew is either addicted or pregnant.
But, without those kids
And all the things we never did,
I never would have known
How strong I stand alone.
This is the start of something
Bigger than the walls we're tearing down
That separate who we want to be
And who we always were.
This is the risk I'm taking.
I've got better chances to lose than winning.
That's not the point I'm trying to make,
It's that giving up leaves such a bitter taste
I remember the days when I
Barely had enough to eat.
In the back of the van I nearly
Lost my mind and everything between.
Now, I'm finding those days are ending.
And I'm doing fine.
From the top of the world I'm screaming,
"I'm never going back.
I'm never going back home."

This is the risk I'm taking
I've got better chances to lose than winning.
That's not the point I'm trying to make.
It's that giving up leaves such a bitter taste
Bigger than the walls we're tearing
Down that separate who we want to be
And who we always were.
This is the risk I'm taking
I've got better chances to lose than winning.
