Grind My Own Way cover art

Letra

[Verse 1]
They drew the map
Said
"Walk this line" (yeah)
Shook all their hands
Pretend I'm fine
Silver tongues
In suited grey
Tried to carve my name
Their crooked way

[Pre-Chorus]
I wore their crown
Till it crushed my spine
Spit out the dust
Said
"The rest is mine"

[Chorus]
I will grind my own way
Through every scar
Through every grave day
If I break
Then I break on my terms
Let the bridges burn
I won't return
I will grind my own way
Blood on my boots
And I still won't sway
When I'm ash
When I'm bone and decay
They'll know I lived
I lived my own way

[Verse 2]
They called it faith
When it smelled like chains
Sold me comfort
Discounted my pain
Raised their glass
To the perfect lie
I raised a fist
To a blackened sky (hey!)

[Pre-Chorus]
I heard their vows
Echo
Thin and small
I'd rather crawl
Than be their thrall

[Chorus]
I will grind my own way
Through every scar
Through every grave day
If I break
Then I break on my terms
Let the bridges burn
I won't return
I will grind my own way
Blood on my boots
And I still won't sway
When I'm ash
When I'm bone and decay
They'll know I lived
I lived my own way

[Bridge]
When the last light fades from these tired eyes
And they weigh my truth against their polite lies
I won't beg
Won't plead
Won't bow
Won't pray
Just a crooked grin
"I did it my way" (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
I will grind my own way
Through every scar
Through every grave day
If I break
Then I break on my terms
Let the bridges burn
I won't return
I will grind my own way
Blood on my boots
And I still won't sway
When I'm ash
When I'm bone and decay
They'll carve one line
"He walked his own way"
