about

Persevere. Overcome.

lyrics

When I'm out of my elements. When the winds of change and consequence force me to rear my ugly head and say, "I've had enough." When I try to vent it out, but the burn of the cold cuts through my mouth, then I know that I don't know a thing of letting come what may. So I define the growing pains of facing self-deprecation. Unchecked and enabled by my fears and frustrations. If this message is true, I'm not strong enough to carry these bags. I've made mistakes, but I believed in myself. No lessons to learn, stay in your lane. "Do you believe in yourself? Because you shouldn't believe in yourself."

I don't need my elements. Let the world put its weight on my chest, and I'll find a way to breathe. You won't make an example of me. I know the growing pains of self-deprecation, and that they give way to sheer determination. Let this message be known you can't keep me (down). I'll carry these bags. I've made mistakes, but I believe in myself. No one can take these bags away. I believed in myself. The lanes, painted black and white, fade to grey. I believed in myself. I still believe, and you can't take that from me.
