Pipe Dreams - Earth Caller

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

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

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?

And disregard the things that I’ve achieved?

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
