lyrics

Does everything end
With a tragedy somehow?
Well, I'm starting to feel done with it
Everyone's looking my way
But the person they see
Isn't the person I know I am

Can't say I'm surprised
I know I have what it takes
I'm getting stronger every time
It's all crashing down on me
But the ruin it leaves
Creates a path I never knew I could climb

It's building all around
But I won't let this break me
Between the sky and ground
And everything they see
Tornado raging now
But I'll stand in the center
And I believe in life
Because you believe in me

And it's not your fault
These consequences that burden us, 'cuz
After all, this world is screwed up
I'll carve my way with love

'Cuz it's the only tool I've got
It's the only one that's lasted this long
Had to learn a lot
Before I saw an end I could defend, befriend the battles I fought
Whether I thought it or not, you saw the value in me
I'm not a casualty and you are not the witness
Back from the dead, guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
I'll carve my way with love 'cuz it's the only tool I need
And when I make it home, I'll find the light of love that you bleed

It's building all around
But I won't let this break me
Between the sky and ground
And everything they see
Tornado raging now
But I'll stand in the center
And I believe in life
Because you believe in me

I'm not so desperate
I'll get so far over this
Oh my God, this is it
I'm always home, wherever I go

It's building all around
But I won't let this break me
Between the sky and ground
And everything they see
Tornado raging now
But I'll stand in the center
And I believe in life
Because you believe in me
