Halestorm - My Redemption

scrapes on my hands
blood on my knees
I pick myself up 
by my own beliefs 
I carry my sins 
no need to confess
won’t scream out for mercy
when it puts me through hell

I set it on fire 
I lay it to rest 
here’s to the hurt 
so I wouldn’t forget 
my heart can survive it
I’m stronger than this

they ain’t built a weapon
that could kill me yet

don’t need saving 
to save myself 
don’t need forgiveness
to bless my guilt 
lost my faith 
and found belief 
in my redemption 
I’m my own redemption

took back my life 
through an ocean of tears 
in a hole down so deep 
suffocating from fear
running from purpose 
while losing my grip 
building the walls 
that built me 
brick by brick 

so here’s to the dagger 
the sword and the pain 
if not for the dirt 
the shovel 
the grave 
a shock to the system 
that opened my eyes 
and made me believe 

I don’t need saving 
to save myself 
don’t need forgiveness
to bless my guilt 
lost my faith 
and found belief 
in my redemption 
I’m my own redemption

don’t need praying 
to find my hope 
don’t need heaven 
to save my soul 
fell from grace 
just to believe 
in my redemption 
I’m my own redemption

I set it on fire 
I lay it to rest 
my heart can survive it
I’m stronger than this
they ain’t built a weapon
that could kill me yet
