Still On My Feet Grunge / Folk Ballad Verse 1 There's a road I've worn to nothing Same old ghosts calling my name Every promise that I made myself Went up in another flame I built these walls with broken hands Thought they'd keep the hurt outside Now I'm trapped inside the silence With nowhere left to hide Pre-Chorus Maybe courage isn't standing tall Maybe it's admitting when you fall But letting go feels harder than the pain So I keep walking through the rain Chorus How many times can I get back up on my own? Before the getting up gets old Before my bones give out from carrying this load What if I fall from the sky With no parachute to slow the crash? Just empty air beneath my feet And memories fading fast What if the ground don't let me live? What if hope finally slips away? If I survive another fall I'll still be standing here today Verse 2 I've smiled through conversations While my world was caving in Everybody sees the surface Nobody sees what's underneath my skin I've been my own rescue For longer than I should've been But even iron bends eventually When the pressure never ends Pre-Chorus Maybe courage isn't standing tall Maybe it's admitting when you fall Maybe reaching out ain't giving up Maybe that's enough Chorus How many times can I get back up on my own? Before the getting up gets old Before my bones give out from carrying this load What if I fall from the sky With no parachute to slow the crash? Just empty air beneath my feet And memories fading fast What if the ground don't let me live? What if hope finally slips away? If I survive another fall I'll still be standing here today Bridge (stripped back) I've been falling for miles No parachute above my head Just a prayer in my lungs And words I never said If somebody's listening Don't catch me—walk beside me instead Teach me how to keep believing When every dream feels dead Final Chorus (full band) How many times can I get back up on my own? I don't know anymore But I'm still knocking on tomorrow's door If I fall from the sky With no parachute to save my life I'll face the wind with open eyes And fight until the light arrives 'Cause every breath I steal today Is one more reason not to quit I'm bruised, I'm tired, I'm barely holding on... But I'm still on my feet. Outro Still breathing... Still fighting... No parachute... Still on my feet.
