lyrics

With every breath I take
I'm forced to swallow pride with my mistakes
And I toe the line between honesty and regret
I'm forced to spend my time repressing what I wish I said
With every breath I take I'm forced to swallow pride with my mistakes

But here I stand, but here i stand
So tell me what it takes to be a man
Build a house in a bottle with your bare hands
Destroy the fabric of your home
The family divides and stands alone
Now I can't stand
Now I can't stand
Stand living in the shadow of my makers hand

With my hand to my heart
Even thou we're apart
With my hand to my heart
I swear you'll never leave me
I won't bow down to the men who've caused such injustice
I'ill arise in the eyes of those who have loved us
I will stay strong in the absence of danger
And rejoice in the fact that my fathers a stranger
A broken man in the mould of another
Resented his kids cause they resembled their mother
In trust we seek until the penance is paid
Until the eyes the loved turn to eyes of dismay
We are prisoners here we'll be till' we die
Til' we rot in the earth and wail our goodbyes
When I leave this place, I'll bear no regrets
Just a map a with an x, that leads to my chest

So tell me what it takes to be a man
I've lost my way, a broken man
In the eyes of dismay now I must stand
So tell me what it takes to be a man
I've lost my way, a broken man
In the eyes of dismay now I must stand

With every breath I take
I'm forced to swallow pride with my mistakes
I toe the line between honesty and regret
We are prisoners here, will be till' we die
Til' we rot in the earth, and wail our goodbyes
In the world I see
Its beauty doesn't comfort me
Knowing that I am lost
I lost my sense of self

I swear you'll never leave me
I swear you'll never leave

With my hand to my heart
Even though we are apart
I swear you'll never leave me
