I Can Hold a Grudge Like Nobody's Business

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

I shouldn't be here.
But I am.

Died a hundred times before I learned to live
Flatline on the screen, they said there's nothing left to give
Every second that you stole, I let you take it
Now I'm ripping back my life, you can't break it
You don't own me, never did, that's the part that burns
Lit a match to take me out, now it's my turn
Every door you shut just made me climb up higher
Every wall you built just made me walk through fire
Buried me alive but I clawed out the box
You can keep the key, I changed all the locks
Twenty years at war inside my skull
Voices saying that the grave is full
But something in my spirit wouldn't let me quit
Dropped down to my knees and surrendered it
They handed me a shovel, I built a throne instead
But I got out
When they counted me out
Faced the dark
Now there's no more doubt

Come on fire
Burn it to the ground
Tear down every tree
But you'll never take me down
'Cause I fly
Higher than flames
Outlived the shame
In Jesus' name
I'll never be the same
I'm higher than flames

Higher, I climb
Higher, I fly
Higher than flames, I survived
Last shirt off my back, threw it down like a flag
God, You listening? I'm one step from a body bag
He said, "Son I watched you bleed every single night
Every scar you tried to hide was always in my sight"
Fell into the wreckage, let go of the rage
Every bitter word I carried, turned the page
You built a case against me, filed it in your mind
But the Judge that I answer to left that case behind
Threw my file in the fire, said, "That's not who he is"
Every chain around my neck had to break and give
Walk through the flames now, they don't even burn
Everything you meant for evil, I earned it
I got out
When they wrote me out
Killed the voice
Full of doubt

Come on fire
Burn it to the ground
Tear down every tree
But you'll never take me down
'Cause I fly
Higher than flames
Outlived the shame
In Jesus' name
I'll never be the same
I'm higher than flames

I was dead on arrival
Nineteen, staring at the edge
Wondering if anyone would even notice
But You walked through the fire
Grabbed my hand, pulled me through
Now I'm standing where they said I'd never stand
It was always You
Never about me

Come on fire
Burn it to the ground
Tear down every tree
But you will never take me down
'Cause I fly
Higher than flames
I buried the shame
In Jesus' name
I will never be the same
I'm higher than flames
Higher than flames.

Still here.
So are you.

Higher Than Flames

Trading Scars
