get through it all and survive
in all this pain, live
in the lies
the coldest rain
drowning the soul
you can't maintain but I
think I can
I embrace the rain
and I'm free
still
free
still me

step outside to feel
the warmth of the sun
and I'm reminded of
the reason that I run
live within the confines
you'll have an ass to kiss
throw away your time
but I'm making mine
so isn't it absent minded to think
that you're the weakening link
when it's in your control

control

caught in the silence
remain
the stain is heavy once again
and at the end I look up
now I can see the otherside
which wasn't so clear before
but now I'm through the door
and I can take anything you throw at me
run free
and put the ashes away
halt me
but everything is okay
I stand by
to reveal the constant pain
to see choices and fall in
push the emptiness away

embrace the rain and I'm free
still
free
still me

or become one of the many
who walks the path without
word or thought
who perishes but never existed

I will rise
who puts death to the wind
at my back
opression
in your mind that's become
your worst enemy
can you feel the pressure

now I see
somewhere all are free
to live in peace

try to shut everyone down
face the pain I suffer through
not the last time
I maintain and I rise
