18 Miles - Set Free lyrics

I need a moment to re-stabilize There is no slowing down; I must keep up with the pace I keep on running and running; I keep on struggling and struggling To get ahead of this race, every time I take a moment to breathe I face the risk of losing, as I'm losing speed I suffocate on my way taking the lead I need to survive, but I must also succeed I feel the hammer slamming down on my spine I feel the hammer slamming down on my spine I need to focus, 'cause I keep losing time I keep on smiling, pretending everything is fine I keep on running for the truth to shine through I'm done with the losers giving up on their dreams f** your disapproval, 'cause I'm still here I said I'm done with the losers giving up on their dreams Keep shaking your head, but where will you turn when Reality kicks in, stomping your face on the floor 'Cause every f**ing time you find yourself kicking open doors How many times do you think I've heard Wake up (Wake up) Wake up, this is going nowhere Wake up (Wake up) Wake up, but now I'm telling you, Wake up (Wake up) Wake up, 'cause we're going nowhere Wake up (Wake up) Wake up, this who I chose to be And I will never be a victim of my own behaviour I design my fate; I decide my destiny I refuse to be pressed down I choose to stand above myself I choose to bear the consequences This is my choice, set free
