After the fire all that was left was deust I scavenged through the rubble for pieces of my trust I looked for clues for a sign to explain all the pain I should've reached for some hands instead of wishing them away It's said and done you can't change the past A secret handshake stabbed you in the back Rise above this meet this life head on Don't end up jaded stay positive and strong From now on I know I'll always do my best I won't dwell on my failures It's just part of this test You should've that you should've this I hear them plead and yell You could be much more then this but then I wouldn't be myself from amid the flames rose a fiery knife From the ashes cam a blinding light I never gave a fuck about your petty wars all I wanted was some honest rock and roll All that matters now stay true to myself to true friends and my family The only thing worth a damn I ever learned stay true to yourself to true friends and family The beat goes on and on and on we all move on and on and on
