"Thousand Lifetimes" lyrics

Sick of feeling right and feeling wrong
I've been in this place way too long
I've been down, and I've been strong
Now what the hell is going on?
It's getting harder, but I know I'll make it
And there's no code in my DNA to front or fake it
I got these clouds hovering and hanging
And the darkness consumes me

How long will I stand and fight?
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul, my blood
Ain't that enough?
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

I must confess
I break from the stress
I tell my story
Get it off my chest
Greenlight till I get it right
Ain't no stopping till I save my life
Harder to breathe
It's getting harder to see
A future in front of me
Suffocated and vindicated
Never a minute goes by that's justified

How long will I stand and fight?
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul, my blood
Ain't that enough?
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

Give it my all
Even when I fall
Back against the wall
When push comes to shove
No, I'm not giving up
No, no, no

Dedicated to the overworked
Who put everything on the line
For those they love until it hurts
Kept your head up when it got tough
Kept faith and love when the roads, dem get rough
A thousand lives couldn't pay for the strength you gave
Or the energy you gave up
I haven't prayed in years, but I know you're there somewhere

How long will I stand and fight?
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul, my blood
Ain't that enough?
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

Oh, of a thousand lifetimes
I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
