Sink or swim

This life won't get the best of me.
This time will rise up.
To the call, I will stand, to be proven wrong no more.
My eyes are open, my fists are closed.
I'm taking this to the bitter end.
These broken knuckles, the torn out hearts.
The road less traveled, this path is mine.

The smiles shatter, against the screams.
The backdrop of sorrow, the pain is too real.
This time it's sink or swim.
This time I'm running out.
I've burned all the bridges, and I'm not looking back.
I'm taking the risk, of burning up out here.

Alone against the world, with one foot in the door.
All my hope in faith.
All my faith in hope.
Tomorrow is all I have, to prove all my points.
