A Pearl In A Dead Sea

My will is a fortress of fate
No matter what the pessimists say
Hate me but I won't ever let up
I embrace all the things I believe
And I don't care who sees
Come get me, coward

Have you ever felt like you were chosen?
A feared lion among the swine
Have your enemies encircled you and pierced your limbs?

I heard the call
Now I'm shining like a lantern
Burning to the millionth degree
I can be your remedy

I'll never fall
Like an idol at the altar, eating all of your misery
I'm a pearl in a Dead Sea

If you (if you) focus (focus) on what you've been
You'll never crave what could be

We all need a shoulder to cry on
If I could sort the mess of the thorns that wrap around your heart
With calloused hands, I'd choose to bleed
And pull apart this web of teeth
Designed to bite by the hands of God
I guess that crown just ain't what you thought
Life's a train wreck in slow motion
I'm the penny on the track

Have you ever felt like you're abandoned?
A mere child among the giants
Have your confidants deserted you in all your sins?

I heard the call
Just try, just try to stop me
Now I'm shining like a lantern
Burning to the millionth degree
I can be your remedy

I'll never fall
I'm not like you
I'm never gonna cave
Like an idol at the altar, eating all of your misery
I'm a pearl in a Dead Sea

Had enough? (Had enough?)
Picture my life (picture my life)
Think you're tough? (Think you're tough?)
You don't know strife
Fathered a kingdom, built a legacy
I poured my heart out, but it won't stop beating
