Views That Never Cease, To Keep Me From Myself

I am so far away

And it's more than I can take

I haven't heard your voice in days

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?



But I am not and will not be defeated

I have given everything in my life for this

I'm counting down the days

Though I've been broken down 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?



But I am not and will not be defeated

I will wade through the worst of it all

I'm counting down the days

Though I've been broken down and beaten

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, that 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

I've given everything in my life for this

But I am not and will not be defeated

I've given everything in my life for this
