Dead Weight Lyrics by Fault Lines

2151

2014

"We had a good run" is all they had to say
They sat back and watched as their dreams slipped away
Well I won't give it up, not that easily
You can pry my heart from my hands over my dead body
So tell me what road lies ahead for you?

No I won't dare to live another day in vain
I won't wait for my life to escape me
Like those who stood before me at this crossroads
I'll take my rightful place

Tell me did you expect for everything to fall into place
Without a struggle, without a sacrifice
I'm building bridges, I've made a purpose for myself
Well what will you do?
Please take this to heart

Fake it 'till you make it, don't give it up (x2)

No I won't dare to live another day in vain
I won't wait for my life to escape me
Like those who stood before me at this crossroads
I'll take my rightful place

So carve your name into stone and don't fear what the future holds
You create it
If I leave any impression I hope it was to follow your dreams
Every moment
