Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Always known in all my time
A little left of center now
Reflect as I realize
That all I need is to find the middle pillar path
To sit like the sun by a star in the sky and just be
Sinners, casting stones at me
[Chorus]
I, I stand, not crawling
Not falling down
I, I bleed the demons
That drag me down
[Chorus]
I, I stand, not crawling (For nothing, the center)
Not falling down (Of calms within the eye)
I, I'll bleed the demons (For no one but myself)
That pull me down (For me and no one else)
[Verse 2]
Goodbye, sunshine, I've put it out again, sad
I'm over, personalities conflicting
I don't need you, or anyone, but me
I'll just be living my own life
I feel my glowing center grow, infecting
I feel alive
And shovel dirt over lime
Plant it in myself to sit like a seed
Under covers of earth and just be
Sinners, pointing fingers at me
[Chorus]
I, I stand, not crawling (For nothing, by myself)
Not falling down
I, I'll bleed the demons (For no one but myself)
That drag me down
[Chorus]
I, I stand, not crawling (For nothing, the center)
Not falling down (Of calms within the eye)
I, I'll bleed the demons (For no one but myself)
That pull me down (For me and no one else)
[Bridge]
Come play, kill
Refuse my body, refuse my shadow
Stone cold will
Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow
Bitter pills
Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow
I'm fueled godless
Come play, come play
Kill
Just be, just be, just be
Just be, just be, just be
[Chorus]
I, I stand, not crawling (For nothing, by myself)
Not falling down
I, I'll bleed the demons (For no one but myself)
That drag me down
[Outro]
I, I stand, not crawling (For nothing, the center)
Not falling down (Of calms within the eye)
I, I'll bleed the demons (For no one but myself)
That drag me down (For me and no one else)
