Griever - Kingdom of Giants

I never used to dream like this

(Sifting through the sand)

Searching for something worth keeping

(Something to believe in)

I never lie awake at night

(Staring at the ceiling)

For the answers I’m seeking

Is anybody listening?!

I hear you knocking at my door, but I’m not ready (not ready!)

I sense you glaring down my back

I feel the hairs are standing on my neck

I’m not afraid of you, is that all you’ve got?

I’ve, been through it all

You’ve taken my father and brother and left my whole family alone

Stronger we grow, closer together, yet so far apart!

Standing face to face with darkness!

I can see it in your eyes

And as much as you hate to admit it!

I will live another night

If it weren’t for the mistakes I’ve made along the way

I wouldn’t be where I am today

I look to the decisions set in place

To shape the character of the future me

While others put their hopes on a shelf

And let their lives be controlled by someone else

I stand tall

(And I believe in myself!)

You know me well enough by now

I believe in myself!

Look at what you’ve started, over my dead body

Will I ever let you haunt me again?!

I know that I am far from perfect

But this pain should prove I’m worth it

With all these choices, what brought you here to me?

I’ve learned so much, and I have lived too little

What makes you think that you will take this from me?

I never used to dream like this

(Sifting through the sand)

Searching for something worth keeping

(Something to believe in)

I never lie awake at night

(Staring at the ceiling)

For the answers I’m seeking

Is anybody listening?!

I’m done waiting in line for my life to fall in place

Afraid to close my eyes

So death will have no chance to show his face

He’ll have no chance to show his face

I’ll be the one to dig my grave

But only when I’m ready

I’ll be the one to dig my grave!

So come, at me now!

With everything that you’ve got

I’ll be, waiting here, with one arm behind my back
