GIDEON LYRICS

1. Calloused

Here I am face down
The self doubt starts to rise,
Like the burning sun,
When I open my eyes.

I'm in the eye of the storm,
But I'll push forward.
Walking the hard mile wearing a smile.

Shackled no more by insecurities,
I broke out of the cell,
Unchained my mind
And swallowed my doubt into the blackness of hell.

I've grown to love the pain.
I've grown to love the pain.

Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.
Hardened by torment and trial.
We break the mold.

Calloused and cold,
Not afraid to fail.
Life's not a bed of roses,
It's a bed of nails.

Bed of nails.
I got air in my lungs and my heart is still beating.
Bed of nails,
I'm not afraid to fail.

Verse 2.

Always wounded, winded, beaten and bruised,
Dazed and confused,
But I'm still standing.

This is my legacy,
And I refuse to be a product of fear.

Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.

Calloused and cold,
Not afraid to fail.
Life's not a bed of roses,
It's a bed of nails.

Bed of nails.
I got air in my lungs and my heart is still beating.
Bed of nails,
I'm not afraid to fail.

Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.

These are the times that try at the lesser man's soul.

Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.

Hardened by torment and trial.
We break the mold.

[2x]
Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.

We break the mold.

2. Savage

Face to face with my demons again
A constant struggle a never ending war from within
So bring it on let the battle begin
You keep trying my patience it’s wearing thin
Lets skip the basics I don't care how you've been
Get out of my head out of my skin
With one final blow one last swing
K.O.
I'll be the last man standing
Paralyze resistance with persistence
K.O.
I'll be the last man standing
Blood. Sweat. Drive.
Do you have what it takes to survive? (come on!)
Never cave Never fold
Never the easy road for the brave and the bold
(I said) Never cave Never fold
I'll be the last man standing (the last man standing)
About-face from my demons at last
Eyes set on the prize and I'm not looking back
Walking through shards of glass from shattered fears of my past
I'll stop at nothing ready for attack
A savage wolf at the door
I'm always hungry for more
Don't try to stop me cause I-
I ain't got nothin' to lose
Never cave Never fold
Never the easy road for the brave and the bold
(I said) Never cave Never fold
I'll be the last man standing (the last man standing)
Blood. Sweat. Drive.
Do you have what it takes to survive?

3. Survive

[feat. Caleb Shomo Of Beartooth]

Be the victim or claim the victory
Move past your fears so you can finally be free
Push through the pain (pain!) you can’t be afraid
You won’t see the sun until you walk through the rain
Fall, get up, repeat
Welcome the hard times
Rise in defeat
Fall, get up, repeat
Keep moving don't stop for anything
Inhale the struggle exhale the trouble
Bear your cross with honor even when your knees buckle
And don't forget where you came from
Your determination will determine the man you become
Breathe life breathe life
Survive
Are you afraid to die? Afraid to be alive?
This time I've made up my mind and I'm not wasting time
Survival of the fittest
Survive! Survive!
This is your life (hey!) so come out swinging
Stop sitting in silence start kicking and screaming
Push through the hate (hey!)
Don't give them reasons to say
They were right you were wrong you couldn't go all the way
Fall, get up, repeat
Welcome the hard times
Rise in defeat
Fall, get up, repeat
Keep moving don't stop for anything
Breathe life breathe life
Survive
Are you afraid to die? Afraid to be alive?
This time I've made up my mind and I'm not wasting time
Survival of the fittest
Survive! Survive!
Adversity devours the weak
If you want it go and get it
Be relentless
We are relentless!
Adversity devours the weak
If you want it go and get it
We are relentless
Relentless

4. Expose

I will expose, bear the scars
Forever scream in the memory of the broken hearts
Wave the flag for the cheated, the let down, defeated
Carry the torch!
Suffer the cause shatter the reality
My stomach's sick from disregard of actuality
Recognize the lives cut short the victims of last resort
Destroy the sound of silence
Bring light to the violence
I will expose, bear the scars
Forever scream in the memory of the broken hearts
Wave the flag for the cheated, the let down, defeated
Carry the torch! For the abandoned ones left empty handed
Carry the torch! For the cheated, the let down, defeated
Carry the torch!
These are the sons and the daughters
The mothers and fathers we love
Precious life ended abrupt then it’s just swept under the rug
3,000 people today crushed by the weight
Too heavy to hold they took their lives away
Recognize the lives cut short the victims of last resort
Carry the torch! For the abandoned ones left empty handed
Carry the torch! For the cheated, the let down, defeated
Carry the torch!
I will bear these scars for the broken hearts

5. World Of Hurt

A picture perfect world of hurt
A self destructing work of art
She hit the bottom before her life could truly start
10 years young she lost her mother
Everyday feeling out of place like a storm without thunder (a deep breath without air)
Left with a heart that was punctured
Every day trying to escape
Now she sits there and wonders why life's so unfair
Searching
Still searching for so much more
Is there life beyond that door? (knock knock)
A self destructing work of art
A picture perfect world of hurt
7 years of pretending she's fine
Acting out a fantasy but it's hell in her mind (tears in her eyes)
She's at the end of the line and she decided to tie a noose at the end this time
Searching
Still searching for so much more
Is there life beyond that door? (knock knock)
A self destructing work of art
A picture perfect world of hurt
Lower than ever before but you're worth so much more
Stuck inside this world of hurt
So don't tell me tell me you're okay
The truth hurts but hit me with it anyway
You're my flesh and blood a part of me
And when you bleed I bleed
A self destructing work of art
She hit the bottom before her life could truly start
Searching
Still searching for so much more
Is there life beyond that door? (knock knock)
A self destructing work of art
A picture perfect world of hurt

6. The Limit

I feel like I've been here before
Maybe in a pipe dream when I was 16
Sittin' in class watchin' the minute hand pass
And my mind only on one thing
If I could go, If I could see
If I could make my dreams a reality
I want to touch the song I hear
That's been ringing inside of me for years
And you can watch from the sidelines
No limits running through my mind
I found the pulse and this heart’s alive
No limits running through my mind
So clear the clouds I'm gonna chase
Chase the sky
I feel like I've been here before
Maybe in a pipe dream now it’s the real thing
I'm living too fast to sit and watch the time pass
Sun shinin' drip dryin' in Sydney
I'll watch the sun go down in a foreign town
Head still in the clouds with both feet on the ground
Forever living loud
Can you hear me now?
If sky's the limit I'm gonna tear it down
We're gonna tear it down!
And you can watch from the sidelines
No limits running through my mind
I found the pulse and this heart’s alive
No limits running through my mind
So clear the clouds I'm gonna chase
Chase the sky
If sky's the limit we're gonna tear it down
Tear it down!

7. The Pulse

[Instrumental]

8. Prison Eyes

Wake me up
I'm stuck in this bad dream
I'm wide awake but I must be sleeping
Or over-thinking, sinking, hoping, wishing
That I'll just find peace
(help me) My reflection staring back at me (save me)
Is this the man you always wanted to be?
Look at me looking back at me
Can I trust the man I see?
Behind these prison eyes
I find it hard to sleep (find it hard to breathe)
With all the secrets that I keep
Behind these prison eyes
It took 3 long years for the floor to cave
It took 2 steps back to see you weren't okay
It took 1 hard look in the mirror (it's clearer)
Now I count down the days until I go insane
I don't feel safe inside my head anymore
Nothing's the same as it was before
Trapped in my own skin
My mind is racing, I cannot stop pacing back and forth
I don't feel safe inside my head anymore
Look at me looking back at me
Can I trust the man I see?
Behind these prison eyes
I find it hard to sleep (find it hard to breathe)
With all the secrets that I keep
Behind these prison eyes
Look at me looking back at me
Haunted by old memories
Look at me looking back at me
God grant me some kind of peace
Wake me up!
Look at me looking back at me
Can I trust the man I see?
Behind these prison eyes
I find it hard to sleep (find it hard to breathe)
With all the secrets that I keep
Behind these prison eyes

9. Momentum

Momentum. Falling back to you
I've become broken fragments, shattered, torn in two
Momentum. Bring me back to you
And finish what you started, finish what you started in me
Lost love I lost myself
Why did I put so much weight into somebody else?
Lost heart I should've known from the start
Instead I stood by and watched as my world fell apart
When the storm rolled in and the waves came crashing down
I sank straight to the bottom held my breath
Then you pulled me up and pulled me in
Momentum. Falling back to you
I've become broken fragments, shattered, torn in two
Momentum. Bring me back to you
And finish what you started, finish what you started in me
Lost faith simply out of spite
I turned my back on the one that's always by my side
Lost hope forgot my roots
This time I plant my feet and I promise
Promise not to move
They say you don't know what you got ’til it's gone
Well it took losing everything to find you were there all along
When the storm rolled in and the waves came crashing down
I sank straight to the bottom held my breath
Then you pulled me up and pulled me in
Momentum. Falling back to you
I've become broken fragments, shattered, torn in two
Momentum. Bring me back to you
And finish what you started, finish what you started in me

10. Drifter

I come and go like the tide
Drifting like the wind on the open road
But this location is my destination
I'm always on my way back home
I used to be a part of your wing
Now I'm just a feather
I was always right by your side
Now I'm a drifter (drifter)
Wherever I go wherever I roam
I wont forget the place I call home
Wherever I go wherever I roam
This will always, always be my
Hometown hold me tight
I'm only here for one more night
I'm only here for one more night
(and I'm singin')
Hometown hold me tight
Cause I don't mind wasting my time
So hometown hold me tight
I come and go like the tide
Return like the seasons
So shine your beacon light
I'll give you my reasons
I'm sorry for leaving
I wish we could be
Frozen in time with this memory
Make the clock stop!
And stop time with me
(drifter)
Wherever I go wherever I roam
This will always, always be my
Hometown hold me tight
I'm only here for one more night
I'm only here for one more night
(and I'm singin')
Hometown hold me tight
Cause I don't mind wasting my time
So hometown hold me tight
