Lyrics:
Gripping with my cold hands
The shapes I used to take
Hollow like a straw man
But it’s easier to push away
‘Cause it could all end here
With a strange daylight caught in our eyes
And my shadow stretching out
Through all the things I left behind
It’s in my blood it’s in my veins
Oh it’s in my blood it’s in my… veins
Got my heel crushing the snake
There is nothing you can take
In my blood it’s in my veins
I’m still here
Maybe it’s a far stretch
That I won’t come undone
But I would brave the cold edge
To finish up what I’ve begun
‘Cause it could all end here
With a strange daylight caught in our eyes
And my shadow stretching out
Is it all enough this time?
I’m still here
All my reasons cut like knives
Keep replaying in my mind
All the times I’ve had to fight
I’m still here
It’s in my blood it’s in my veins
I’m still here
I’m still here
Got my heel crushing the snake
There is nothing you can take
In my blood it’s in my veins
I’m still here
I’m still here
“It’s written in my code, it’s in my veins”
And I’m Still Here
I’m still…
