The Night Before

The noise is all around you and you're trying to cope But the shower from your blessings isn't killing the smoke And the pain is getting harder, you can't even approach The circumstances that you're in cause your spirit has broke But deep down, there's another fire stuck in your skin You just got to let that loose before the chaos begins But that's... just much easier said than done Like when you've never known the feeling to have finally won Keep on going, keep on fighting - that's the list Be the only one standing when everyone calls it quits When the nerves weigh you down, when the blood stains your pride Push those negatives aside 'cause there's no reason to hide Do the most to prove to yourself Forget about the audience that keeps on causing you stress Don't give in to the fear of disappointing the camera When the flashes blind your path, just remember your stamina And if... you think that you could never make it to the top What's the point of the enemy always blocking your shot Take a moment to pause and just try to reflect... Are you really giving your best If not, why are you stressing - why are you doubting your strength Why are you making excuses for not exhorting your gains If you put your goals away, you're gonna fall asleep And doing that is digging your dreams 6-feet deep And nah... I don't wanna do that I don't wanna try that I don't wanna see another cat coming down my tracks With my plans intact If I could take another chance, I'd get this weight up off my back
