[Don't forget what you know]
A man told me:
I should be counting my blessings
And to wrap my head around
Everything that I've got
But I'm a pessimist at best
My vision's blinded by the rest
Of what I've lost
Oh, I'm so lost
This is where we are
And all the things I've seen
That's got me here this far
So don't tell me I'm sinking
I'll keep my head above the bay
I will drown another day
And when the skies roll out the darkest days
I will shout and I will say
You've made a grave but I won't lay
Oh there's no way [x2]
No I'm not dying, no I'm not dying today
You better shape up
Or you're bound to ship out
My father told me
"Son, it's time to figure your life
It's time to figure your life out."
But I'm resisting from arrest
I know there's more to me than this
I swear I know [x2]
But what do I know?
This is where we are
And all the things I've seen
That's got me here this far
Don't tell me I'm sinking
I'll keep my head above the bay
I will drown another day
And when the skies roll out the darkest days
I will shout and I will say
You've made a grave but I won't lay
Oh there's no way [x2]
No I'm not dying, no I'm not dying today
Cause' I've got something more
Oh you're not gonna win
My back is stronger and it's not gonna bend
Oh you're not gonna win
You're never gonna make me fall down again
[I'll never fall again]
I'll keep my head above the bay
I will drown another day
And when the skies roll out the darkest days
I will shout and I will say
You've made a grave but I won't lay
Oh there's no way [x2]
No I'm not dying, no I'm not dying today [x2]
