08 - Still Here

Still Here [Intro] Everyone thought i was dead inside Everyone thought i was i surrendered Everyone thought i was accept So what is the next step? I still here And i'm not dead inside [Verse] Every single time when agony would crawl, You turned your backs and watched me almost fall. Every single time when depression held me thrall, You turned your backs, ignoring every call. Because the pain of others means nothing at all, You write us off, building up a wall. You chuckled, thinking – will he disappear, be gone from it all? Fuck No! I'm standing here, I'm still here, defying all! [Chorus] I'm still here! Shedding the skin of agony's bite, I'm still here! Shattering depression's glass with all my might! I'm still here! Even to death, I'm ready now to cry, Fuck YOU! And watch your empty darkness die! [Bridge] You still laugh at my struggle, with a casual sneer, Never knowing the battles, the truth held so dear. But when your own walls crumble, and the end draws so near, I'll be the one standing, to scream through your fear: I'M STILL HERE! [Outro] This life's a game of poker, a ruthless, cold display, You hide your true feelings, denying all truth, come what may. But through your blank faces, I see souls in decay, I hear all your silent screams, every single day. Only when you've walked through hell, and found your own way, And clutched to your sanity, through every dark fray, Then you'll understand what it means to stand and say: "I'M STILL HERE."
