Still Standing

still here…
still breathing…
still standing…

i've been down every road this album walked
i've been the swagger and the wreck
i've been the engine running empty
i've been the rope around my neck
i've been the anger and the ashes
i've been the hollow and the drive
i've been every single version
of a man who just survives

but here's the thing about surviving
here's the thing they never say
you don't come back the same as always
you come back a different way

still standing
after everything
still standing
after all of it
i'm not the same man that i started as
but i'm still here
still standing
still lit

i've driven through the night alone
i've sat down on the floor
i've screamed into the nothing
till my throat was raw and sore
i've felt the slow burn take me under
felt the cold creep through my bones
but every single morning
i woke up and made it home

and here's the thing about surviving
here's the thing they never say
you don't come back the same as always
you come back a different way

still standing
after everything
still standing
after all of it
i'm not the same man that i started as
but i'm still here
still standing
still lit

every road leads somewhere
every wound leaves something
every night eventually
lets the morning in

every engine running
every 3 am driving
every hollow moment
was just the beginning

[Instrumental]

still standing
after everything
still standing
after all of it
i'm not the same man that i started as
but i'm still here
still standing
still lit

still standing
after everything
still standing
after all of it
i'm not the same man that i started as
but i'm still here
still standing
still lit

still standing…
still here…
still standing…
