Views That Never Cease, To Keep Me From Myself

I am so far away

And it's more than I can take

[00:42.95]I haven't heard your voice in days

What is the measure of a man?

Is it wading through the worst?

Or is the measure of a man

Admitting when he is defeated?

[02:03.34][03:13.75]But I am not and will not be defeated

I have given everything in my life for this

[02:13.87]I'm counting down the days

[02:16.18]Though I've been broken and beaten

I know I can't let it, I know I can't let it win

This feeling that there is nothing left

That my purpose is gone

These views, they never cease

To keep me from myself and who I am

So what makes the measure of a man?

Is it being too stubborn to let go of the good and move on?

I will wade through the worst of it all

I am not done with this

I know I will not fall

This is my deepest dream

Or is this a nightmare in disguise?

What makes the measure of a man?

Is it always trying to do right?

I'm' so far away

And I don't know if it's more than I can take

With these views, that never cease to keep me from myself

With these views, they never cease to keep me from myself

I will keep moving forward when I have nothing left

I am not and will not be defeated

[03:19.00]I've given everything in my life for this
