Song by Motionless In White:

Intro: Chris Motionless
Yeah, oh

Verse 1: Chris Motionless
I’ve given my life
I suffered and sacrificed to find
That fear is only fatal ’til it’s alchemized
To heal is to repurpose
Take the stage and siphon all the power from the pain
I turned my struggles into my strength

Pre-Chorus: Chris Motionless, Chris Motionless & Justin Morrow
If the answer is in the unknown
Would you question the path you take?
If the past didn’t hurt to let go, oh-oh
Would your future be yours to reclaim?

Chorus: Chris Motionless
You’ll never know yourself ’til you walk alone
With blind faith and broken bones
So follow the light in your heart
And be not afraid of the dark

Verse 2: Chris Motionless
Will you follow me to where love met destruction?
Doubt only dies if you keep pouring trust in
Fight or surrender your dreams
‘Cause it’s give up or give everything

Chorus: Chris Motionless
You’ll never know yourself ’til you walk alone
With blind faith and broken bones
So carry the torch in your heart
And be not afraid of the dark (Dark)

Post-Chorus: Chris Motionless
How much are you willing to bleed
To suffer for what you believe?
We can’t see the end from the start
So don’t be afraid of the dark (Dark)
And walk with me

Bridge: Chris Motionless
From the ashes, I was reborn free
And from the grave, I was rebuilt by what broke me

Breakdown: Chris Motionless
Rebuilt by what broke me, blegh
So tear me apart and you’ll see
You’ll see the spine, the heart, the blood on the dirt
You’ll feel the pain, the rage that feeds on the hurt
On every scar is a badge of a lesson I’ve learned
That took me twenty f****** years to earn

Interlude: Chris Motionless
And now I know
I don’t have to do this alone
A creature that found a home
When life drained the light from my heart
You pulled me from the dark

Chorus: Chris Motionless
I’ve given you everything (Everything)
A lifeline in pieces of me (Pieces of me)
We can’t see the end from the start
But I don’t fear the dark

Outro: Chris Motionless
Dark inside with purpose and passion
Sweat and blood, from Stockholm to Scranton
Fight or fright, arise from the pages
Fear not the dark
If you mean it, you’ll make it
