Lyrics:

[Intro]

I'm still around…
No thanks to you.

I'm still proud…
I made it through another day.
I’ve got myself to thank for it.

[Verse 1]

Day like every day — it drags forever,
Still something changed — will I fade out? Never.
I'm more myself right now than ever,
But all I’ve ever been… is myself.

Don’t think I’ll ever change — I take the blame,
Time sets the stage — I stay the same!

[Chorus 1]

Time moves on but I’m still standing!
Past is gone but it still scares me!
Time takes kings and takes the damned!
Rich or poor — we end in the cemetery!

(I survived!)

[Verse 2]

Another day like every day — forever,
Still nothing changed — is my end never?
I'm more myself right now than ever,
But all I’ve ever been… is myself.

Endless loop, eternal change — I take the blame,
Time sets the stage...

[Chorus 2]

You moved on — but I’m still standing!
Past is gone but it still scars me!
Time takes kings and takes the damned!
Rich or poor — we end in the cemetery!

[Breakdown]

I'm still alive — no thanks to you! (you! you!)
I’m the reason I pulled through!
The best of me — yeah, tribute to me!
I’m grateful that I —
I chose to STAY!

[Whisper / Build]

(I’m here to…) (I'm here...) (I'm here to!)

[Chorus 3]

Live another day — same story, same fight!
I’m not alone — got myself by my side!
Carry me forward — no you, no worry!
Rich or poor — we end in the cemetery!

[Outro]

(one day…)
We’ll all meet at the cemetery…
(one day…)
We’ll all meet at the cemetery…
