And now I know in my mind I will never fail If I stay true I will always prevail So many things in this world that try to drag me down And pull my head underwater If I don't catch my breath then I will surely drown I just have to push harder This is my conviction This is my drive This is my conviction This is a show of my self-control This is my drive and who I want to be These are my beliefs Convicted Break me, my heart's not made of steel Reveal yourself to me And now I know in my mind I will never fail If I stay true I will always prevail Forgive me for I know what I've done I've been carrying this weight too long And every moment I lie here awake Is just another burden on my guilty conscience Forgive me for I know what I've done I've been carrying this weight too long And every moment I lie here awake Is just another burden on my guilty conscience Forgive me for I know what I've done I've been carrying this weight too long And every moment I lie here awake Is just another burden on my guilty conscience Truth and conviction Taboo to a less than common practice And fact is half this Will not be heard for what truth's told The world only knows my Pain, hate, fear, lust, rage Shame, fate, tears across my face Convictions come with loss Convictions come with loss
