This I Earned |
| Fiction you made up to believe |
| Lives on a screen but it’s not reality |
| Actions that you didn’t take |
| Is why you’re concerned with the ones that I make |
| Now you’ve noticed your day slipping fast |
| Was it well spent or were you stepping back? |
| You counted all my blessings as you went |
| Leaving your mark of discontent |
| (This I earned) |
| I wasn’t born with it |
| I bled for this |
| Be bound to your word |
| When you live by it |
| You prove your worth |
| (This I earned) |
| It wasn’t handed to me |
| I did what I had to |
| Be bound to your word |
| It’s not what you deserve, you get what you earn |
| Don’t indulge in delusions to satisfy |
| I don’t escape today with dreams gone by |
| Perfection of the present doesn’t exist |
| The future’s at stake, it isn’t granted |
| For this I bled |
| For this I bled |
| My blood I shed for this |
| You want a future worth fighting for? |
| With skin in the game? |
| Be bound to your word |
| Everything is at stake |
| My blood |
| My blood I shed for this |
| My blood |
| My blood I shed for this |
| You think this was handed to me? |
| Some offering taken at birth |
| I’ve withstood every hardship |
| To prove myself of worth |
| (This I earned) |
| I wasn’t born with it |
| I bled for this |
| Be bound to your word |
| When you live by it |
| You prove your worth |
| (This I earned) |
| It wasn’t handed to me |
| I did what I had to |
| Be bound to your word |
| It’s not what you deserve, you get what you earn |
| Earned in blood |
| A life that’s well deserved |
| Take what’s due |
| Once you prove your worth |
| (Earn it) |
