"You Are Not Your Past" lyrics

"You Are Not Your Past"

You let it all replay, stuck in your darkest days
You're paralyzed by shame, waiting on a miracle
No savior's gonna come, you are the only one
Who holds the key that could free you from this prison cell

You nail yourself to the cross
Sold everything that you've lost
A self-fulfilling prophecy

Your scars are a reminder
You are a survivor
So get off your ass
You are not your past
Your story's worth defending
You decide the ending
So get off your ass
You are not your past

You are built to last, to last, to last
You are not your past, your past, your past
You are not your—

Your demons and your doubt that you keep buried down
Turned inside out at the bottom of yourself again
You're not the faded bruise, the years you've spent abused
Living with open wounds, lies you've been believing in

You nail yourself to the cross
Sold everything that you've lost
You're such a slave to the sympathy

Your scars are a reminder
You are a survivor
So get off your ass
You are not your past
Your story is worth defending
You decide the ending
So get off your ass
You are not your past

You are built to last, to last, to last
You are not your past, your past, your past
You are not your—

You are not your, you are not your—
You are not your past, your past, your past
Y-Y-You are not your—
Your past, your past
Y-You are not—
You are not your past
Your scars are a reminder
You are a survivor
So get off your ass
You are not your past

Your story is worth defending
You decide the ending
So get off your ass
You are not your past

You are built to last, to last, to last
You are not your past, your past, your past
You are built to last, to last, to last
You are not your past, your past, your past
You are not your—

You are not your, you are not your—
You are not your past, your past, your past
You are not your—
Your past, your past
You are not your past
