Just breathe I've been running for a longtime I can hear my heartbeat It's been echoing in my mind All night Getting lost in my dreams Can't sleep, all the work I've been doing only works against me I need relief 'Cause the only thing I'm building is the pressure in me I'd rather die Standing up tall Father said son Even empires fall Straighten your spine Break every wall Fear runs your mind if you give it control You'll be stuck in this town for a lifetime Waiting around for the right time So straighten your spine Answer the call 'Cause fear is the bullet that's killing us, killing us all If I stay I may as well put myself in a coffin Dig my own grave I'll be helping them lower that box in Done clocking in living life on your time I call it a noose while you call it a tie I gotta choose do, I live or live to survive I'd rather die Standing up tall Father said son Even empires fall Straighten your spine Break every wall Fear runs your mind if you give it control You'll be stuck in this town for a lifetime Waiting around for the right time So straighten your spine Answer the call 'Cause fear is the bullet that's killing us, killing us all I've been running Been running I've been running all my life Can't do nothing Do nothing Gotta build something before my time I've been running Been running I've been running all my life Can't do nothing Do nothing Gotta build something before my time I'd rather die Standing up tall Father said son Even empires fall Straighten your spine Break every wall Fear runs your mind if you give it control You'll be stuck in this town for a lifetime Waiting around for the right time So straighten your spine Answer the call 'Cause fear is the bullet that's killing us, killing us all
