[Verse 1]
Your life isn't everything you thought, but so what?
I know, I know you think you're trying
Examining and constantly rearranging it all
Your head is weakening, held down by fear
You're so young, you shouldn't be afraid of anything
Our lives are the sum of what we all accomplish
So stand with me now

[Verse 2]
Fists up if you've got broken bones
You still could knock their fucking teeth in
And send them running home
Funny how they always run when you get back up
See your path. Make it yours. Hold your head
Stop letting them break you
'Cause there is a fire you can walk through
So let the war begin

[Chorus]
Stop running away from who you are
Cause time is lost so quickly
Take your mistakes for what they are
It's just part of being human and learning to fall

[Verse 3]
Stop trying to escape your disasters
I want to see you believing in what you are
Stop trying to explain yourself
'Cause life's too short to be dust on the top shelf!

[Chorus]
Stop running away from who you are
'Cause life goes by so quickly
Take your mistakes for what they are
It's the art of being human and learning to fall

[Bridge]
You're born to think for yourself
But that's not good for them
That's not what they want
They want you to hate yourself and everyone around you
So that your world can stay a crowded jail cell
Where the worst is always expected
And the scraps are never good enough

[Verse 4]
It only takes one stone to knock a king out cold
You've rested long enough
I want to see you get back up
See your path. Make it yours. Hold your head
Stop letting them break you
'Cause there is a fire you can walk through
So let the war begin

[Chorus]
Stop running away from who you are
'Cause time is lost so quickly
Take your mistakes for what they are
It's just part of being human and learning to fall
