lyrics

When I left home, I had the sun at my back
Well, now the sun's setting, and
My shadow's growing longer all the time.
It hurt to think of hurting my friends, but
I'm a little colder now and I'll do what I have to to survive.
I swear no allegiance to man
No god or machine will ever have the best of me.
That ship has sailed, and subsequently sunk in the deep
These icebergs are bigger than you'd ever believe.

And there will come a time when you feel like giving up.

Well I'm so far down
I'm feeling beaten around
Not sure how I'm sure, but I'm sure not giving up
Well, it's been two long years
Trying to face my fears
And I'm still so tired I'm down but not giving up

Down but never giving up
Down but not giving up.

I remember months spent lying in bed,
My every waking moment thinking,
"Please just let me rest and I'll be fine."
I couldn't let go, I just couldn't;
Well I'm a little older now;
It used to be your fault--by now it's MINE.
And I look back at all the notes I wrote and the cries for help,
The things that almost got the best of me.
I guess it just takes time to see:
These icebergs are so much bigger when you're underneath.

And there will come a time when you feel like giving up.

Well I'm so far down, I'm feeling beaten around
Not sure how I'm sure, but I'm sure not giving up.
Well it's been two long years, trying to face my fears
I'm still so tired, I'm down but not giving up

Down but never giving up
Down but not giving up.

So thanks for turning your back/I learned to stop holding my breath
(Whoa, I'm not going down with this ship)
So thanks for turning your back/I learned to stop holding my breath
(Whoa, I'm not going down with this ship)

And there was a time when I felt like giving up
