Sinew

Tortured existence

Like razors ripping at my soul

I search for peace

I find no release

Still I push forward

Weaker men fallen but

I won't repeat their mistakes

I'm destined for more

We're not one in the same

Given strength through pain

Knowledge through shame

Refuse to fall

No longer will I crawl

Refuse defeat

That ain't in me

I'm destined for more

We ain't one in the same

Denied my wings

Out of heaven's reach

I plan my war

Condemned to shame

Built upon our names

And the essence is the same

Surfaced to the grain

Sentenced with the pain

And you're still in my way

I got it in my brain

Where I suffered every day

And I wake up the same

Fallen from grace
