Conviction!

And now I know in my mind I will never fail. If I stay true I will always prevail
So many things in this world that try to drag me down and pull my head underwater
If I don’t catch my breath then I will surely drown. I just have to push harder

This is my conviction. This is my drive
This is my conviction. This is a show of my self-control
This is my drive and who I want to be
These are my beliefs and my reasons to live. Convicted!

Break me, my heart’s not made of steel. Reveal Yourself to me
And I know in my mind I will never fail. If I stay true I will always prevail

Forgive me for I know what I’ve done. I’ve been carrying this weight too long
And every moment I lie here awake is just another burden on my guilty conscience
(x3)

Truth and conviction. Taboo to a less than common practice
And fact is half this: Will not be heard for what truth’s told
The world only knows my pain, hate, fear, lust, rage, shame, fate, tears across my face
Convictions come with loss
Convictions come with loss
