My will is to fight just to fade
No matter what the pessimists say
Hate me but I won't ever let up
I embrace all the things I believe
And I don't care who sees
Come get me, coward

Have you ever felt like you were chosen
I fear the lion among the swine
Have your enemies encircled you and pierced your limbs

I heard the call
Now I'm shining like a lantern
Burning to the millionth degree
I can be your remedy
I'll never fall
Been like a lion at the altar
Eating all of your misery
I'm a pearl in a dead sea

If you focus
On what could have been
It'll never be what could be

You only need a shoulder to cry on
If I could sort the mess of thorns that's wrapped around your heart
With callous hands I choose to bleed
And pull apart this web of teeth
Designed to bide by the hands of God
I guess that crown just ain't what you thought
Life's a trainwreck in slow motion
I'm a penny on the track

Have you ever felt like you're abandoned
A mere child among giants
Have your confidants deserted you with all your sins

I heard the call (just try, just try to stop me)
Now I'm shining like a lantern
Burning to the millionth degree
I can be your remedy
I'll never fall
Been like a lion at the altar
Eating all of your misery
I'm a pearl in a dead sea

Had enough, picture my life
Think you're tough? You don't know strife
Father looking who built a legacy
I pour my heart but it won't stop beating
Had enough, picture my life
Think you're tough? You don't know strife
Father looking who built a legacy
I pour my heart but it won't stop beating

I heard the call (just try, just try to stop me)
Now I'm shining like a lantern
Burning to the millionth degree
I can be your remedy
I'll never fall
Been like a lion at the altar
Eating all of your misery
I'm a pearl in a dead sea

I'm a pearl in a dead sea
I'm a pearl in a dead sea
