Lyrics
[Verse 1]
With every step I take, the test unfolds
I must pull myself up from the floor
Embrace my entity
And escape from the eye of the storm
Burning the wick at both ends
I judge myself before you get the chance
I refuse to be
I refuse to be
Buried by the avalanche
[Verse 2]
Fist over fist
I'm crawling out
Fist over fist
I'm crawling out
[Verse 3]
I saw a stranger in my own reflection
Stuck in a cycle of declining life
Fallen victim to my own affliction
Clings to me like a parasite
I've lit the fuse
And now I'm stuck
The clocks are set to self-destruct
[Chorus]
In spite of everything
I face my shadows alone
I've crossed through fire and burning stone
In spite of everything
I face my shadows
I refuse to be buried by the avalanche
[Verse 4]
Fist over fist
I'm crawling out
[Verse 5]
When the walls close in
And the lights go out
I raise my fists…
I lay siege to myself to crush all doubt
A ruthless war, no mercy
And there's not one single motherfucker
On this earth
Who can break the fight in me
I will never retreat
I will never retreat
I'm crawling out
[Chorus]
In spite of everything
I face my shadows alone
I've crossed through fire and burning stone
In spite of everything
I face my shadows alone
I refuse to be buried by the avalanche
