Testo Pipe Dreams

This is the path I chose for how I live my life
No fucking glory without sacrifice
I walk the longest road, I fought alone in the dark
You put no fear in my heart, punk
When it rains it pours, it fucking snows
[? 0:36] knocked down, get up and get back on the road
You know how that shit goes
You reap what you sow Planted the seeds now I'm watching 'em grow
So many fakes in this game
I'm watching them all get exposed

I walked this path alone, it's all I ever did
No reward without a fucking risk
This song goes out to every single kid
Who got told their life is worth nothing
Don't let 'em cut you down, because they don't know shit
[? 1:00] you ever did
I know what it's like to truly have nothing
But I know what it means to truly live

So what the fuck do you expect from me?
Will you tell me I should give up my dreams? [? 1:13]
When you tell me you don't believe in me

I walked alone through the cold, dead night
And all I brought back with me are these cold, dead eyes
To see the sunlight
Tell me how much would you give?
I know what it means to die
And I know what it means to live
My knuckles bleed
My teeth are cracked just like the street
I see they're giving up on me
A little more each day
It's hard to keep yourself intact
When all your dreams could be just that
This is everything to me

No fucking glory without sacrifice
So what the fuck do you expect me to feel
When you try to tell me, that this isn't real?
When you try to tell me, how think and feel?
I won't be another cog to turn your fucking wheel
I won't be another cog to turn your fucking wheel
Fuck no

I walked alone through the cold, dead night
And all I brought back with me are these cold, dead eyes
To see the sunlight
Tell me how much would you give?
I know what it means to fight
And I know what it means to live
My knuckles bleed
My teeth are cracked just like the street
I see they're giving up on me
A little more each day
It's hard to keep yourself intact
When all your dreams could be just that
This is everything to me
I'm struggling
To keep the flame inside of me
Burning without consuming me
I could not bear the pain
It's hard to leave
When you must act like a machine
That can adapt
I will not accept defeat

Bleed
Bleed
I will not accept defeat
