Beaten down with something

Just when I thought there was nothing

That could ever stop me



I've felt a weight on my shoulders at night

When handed more than one share

Of pain and adversity



I've given up all the things that I love

And this won't end that way

If I had the choice

All I know is that with that choice

I'd have to pay

Deep down inside now I'm burning

The fire won't be contained

I've given up all the things that I love

And this won't end that way



Maybe the thing that has saved me

It's the thing that kept a life tucked away

Where minds can't shine



Thinking you're onto something

When something to me, means nothing at all

No scars to hide



I've given up all the things that I love

And this won't end that way

If I had the choice

All I know is that with that choice

I'd have to pay

Deep down inside now I'm burning

The fire won't be contained

I've given up all the things that I love

And this won't end that way



Once in a lifetime

Once in my lifetime

This might resonate with you

With you

Once in a lifetime

Once in my lifetime

The thoughts you keep

Might get you through

You through



Some day soon

Name it true



I've given up all the things that I love

And this won't end that way

If I had the choice

All I know is that with that choice

I'd have to pay

Deep down inside now I'm burning

The fire won't be contained

I've given up all the things that I love

And this won't end that way



Once in a lifetime

Once in my lifetime

This might resonate with you

With you

Once in a lifetime

Once in my lifetime

The thoughts you keep

Might get you through

You through
