These Scars Won't Define Us Lyrics

One life is all that you get

A dread comes over me in moments of my weakness
It suffocates me as I contemplate the bleakness

Head to the grindstone, power forward through the endless dark
Focus determination, on this world I'll leave a mark
It took so long for any confidence to get in here
And now the question that I need to know, I cannot hear

I can't give you the proof
But music is the truth

One life, these scars they won't define us
One chance, to strengthen ties that bind us
One love, to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
One life is all that you get

The time has come for me to let go of my grudges
Power and strength will come to clear the path before us

Quiet the voices, in my head, sometimes they never stop
Dig for my confidence, keep going till I fucking drop
Don't waste a moment, every second precious, seize the day
No time to rest on laurels, sleep will come when in the grave

I can't give you the proof
But music is the truth

One life, these scars they won't define us
One chance, to strengthen ties that bind us
One love, to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
One life is all that you get

Don't let them bury the hope
The wicked won't reap what they sow
The cynics they need to see light
So stand up and show them what's right

One life, these scars they won't define us
One chance, to strengthen ties that bind us
One love, to show the world meaning
Remember before you forget
One life is all that you get
