The Let Down

Faced the one they call "The Beast"
It lays in hate behind the teeth.
Sparked a fire on my land.
Within a breath, killed every man.

But I'm alright. I'm alright.
Loss is good when in light.
In my mind, I'm alright.
Life is good, I'm alive.
Been abused by the abuse not source.

Somebody hates the way I live.
It means that I've got more to give.
But words never quite what they seem.
I'm finding out a foundation bleeds.

But I'm alright. I'm alright.
Loss is good when in light.
In my mind, I'm alright.
Life is good. I'm alive.
Got knocked down on solid ground,
Life is what you make of it.
So watch me now.

Face the gun, face the gun.

"I'll never tell you how to live.
Unless I let you down again"
Words are never quite what they seem.
I'm finding out a foundation bleeds.
