40 Below Lyrics by Secrets

The Ascent

2012

[Verse 1]
I take it back, this time I'm holding back nothing
Everyone, everyone will see your colors
I tried to turn the pages for a better way
But your still there, like it's yesterday, every day
See where your chapter ends, mine begins
And to my friends beside me, this is it

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your ground
They cannot bring us down

[Chorus]
Take shape to what life gives you
Learn how to bend, not break
Somehow it seems we lost you
Gone at the scene, you're torn at the seams
You're a joke, this punchline's about you
You're a joke, this punchline's about you

[Verse 2]
You said you live for this, it's clear that you don't
We see right through it, you're such a fucking joke
Thanks to you, we haven't made it by now
Look at you, just a failure now

[Chorus]
Take shape to what life gives you
Learn how to bend, not break
Somehow it seems we lost you
Gone at the scene, you're torn at the seams
You're a joke, this punchline's about you
You're a joke, this punchline's about you

[Breakdown]
This is the path we choose, you can't change us
This is the path we choose, we won't change
This is the path we choose, you can't change us
This is the road we paved, we won't change
I know that we have something to prove
And now, we all have nothing to lose

[Chorus]
Take shape to what life gives you
Learn how to bend, not break
Somehow it seems we lost you
Gone at the scene, you're torn at the seams
You're a joke, this punchline's about you
You're a joke, this punchline's about you

[Outro]
Here's a toast to us, we held our ground
