I don't see why I don't see what bothers me 
And I don't know why I don't know what won't let me go 
I should have listened to myself when I had it down 
This dose of my own medicine is too big to swallow now 
This is the time when I find what's inside of me 
This is the time when I decide what I believe 

[Chorus]
If I want to be real in this world 
The I have to realize 
If I am going to live by the sword 
I'm gonna have to die by the sword 

It's easy to be calm when there's no crashing tide 
It's easy to be quiet when it's loud outside 
It's easy to be humble when you're glorified 
But now I'm out here on my own and screaming from inside 

This is the time when I find what's inside of me 
This is the time when I decide what I believe

You left my heart exposed 
There is no pride in times like this 
No one said it was easy 
No one said it was fair 
But nobody's happy when it is

When I look in the mirror and don't like what I see 
I know you know what I desire to do 
So help me follow even when it's not easy to 

[Chorus]
