Lyrics Retaliation - Gateways

Retaliation

Each and everyday
I wait and see if these walls would close
This is not the fight
This is not the war I chose
Holding on to the last bit of hope
Holding on to the hate inside me
Remembering to forget
If I can hold back, then I can think to be the better man
I won’t let this take me apart
We’ve been turning in the wrong corners
We’ve been traveling in the wrong paths
When it all comes down, will I even strike back?
Or how will this make me better than you?
Standing up so tall, standing up so brave
I’ll be the better man, I’ll never become a slave
No remorse, I’ll stand up with confidence
I’ll be the bravest man you’ll ever see
No remorse, I’ll stand up with confidence
I’ve held on to the last bit of hope
And I’m making it through
A free man of retaliation
