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
