I don? t see why I don? t see what bothers me
And I don? t know why I don? t know what won? t let me go
I should have listened to myself when I had it down
This dose of my own medicine is too big to swallow nowThis is the time when I find what? s inside of me
This is the time when I decide what I believeIf I wanna be real in this world
Then I have to realize
If I am gonna live by the sword
Then I'm gonna have to die by the swordIt? s easy to be calm when there? s no crashing tide
It? s easy to be quiet when it? s loud outside
It? s easy to be humble when you? re glorified
But now I? m out here on my own and screaming from inside
This is the time when I find what? s inside of me
This is the time when I decide what I believeIf I wanna be real in this world
Then I have to realize
If I am gonna live by the sword
Then I'm gonna have to die by the swordBut you stripped me down to basics
You left my heart exposed
There is no pride in times like thisNo one said it was easy
And no one said it was fair
But no one is happy when it isI need your loving arms to carry me
When I look in the mirror and I don? t like what I see
I know you know what I desire to do
So help me follow even when it? s not easy to
If I wanna be real in this world
Then I have to realize
If I am gonna live by the sword
Then I'm gonna have to dieIf I wanna be real in this world
Then I have to realize
If I am gonna live by the sword
Then I'm gonna have to dieI'm gonna have to die
I'm gonna die by the sword
