lyrics

Just keep trying
Just keep trying
I know you'll fail

Give me something to believe in.
I'm begging and pleading for some sort of solace.
Believe me when I tell you I refuse to break even.
We are the outcasts, you won't control us.
You down yourself in your own self pity.
I knew all along I didn't need you with me.
With revenge on my mind and hope on my back,
I'll seek vengeance so find the spine you lack.

Get over yourself, your self hate disgusts me.
Just know that you'll never get the best, the best of me.

I've come way too far to go back now
to go back now
you think you've won but you'll
never get the best of me
just keep trying, just keep trying
I know you'll fail

Time after time I gave you chance after chance.
But any fool can see through you at first glance.
You sealed your fate, now watch me rise.
While you fall to the ground and reach your demise.
You wanted me to change everything I live life for.
Now witness the rebirth as I go for what I strive for.
There's no justice left,
This is your final breath.

Get over yourself, your self hate disgusts me.
Just know that you'll never get the best, the best of me.

I've come way too far to go back now
to go back now
you think you've won but you'll
never get the best of me
just keep trying, just keep trying
I know you'll fail

Fates wearing thin,
I'm afraid it's the end
You'll never win
Make your time well spent.

You tried to keep me depressed and
You tried to open these wounds
You tried to keep me heartless and heart broken

You tried to keep down
You tried to hold me back
You tried to take me off the path of what I stand for

You fed me lies, you burned me down,
this is forever the end of how, you hold
your chains on me
And mark my words, you have no hold on
my life anymore, you'll never win
you'll never win you'll never win!

I've come way too far to go back now
to go back now
you think you've won but you'll
never get the best of me
just keep trying, just keep trying
I know you'll fail

You'll never bring me down,
You'll never wear my crown.
You are the enemy,
This is the best of me.
