Lyrics of Live by the sword

I dont see why i dont see what bothers me
And i dont know why i dont know what wont let me go
I should have listened to myself when i had it down
This dose of my own medicine is too big to swallow now

This is the time when i find whats inside of me
This is the time when i decide what i believe

If i wanna be real in this world
Then i have to realize
If i am gonna live by the sword
Then i'm gonna have to die by the sword

Its easy to be calm when theres no crashing tide
Its easy to be quiet when its loud outside
Its easy to be humble when youre glorified
But now im out here on my own and screaming from inside

This is the time when i find whats inside of me
This is the time when i decide what i believe

If i wanna be real in this world
Then i have to realize
If i am gonna live by the sword
Then i'm gonna have to die by the sword

But you stripped me down to basics
You left my heart exposed
There is no pride in times like this

No one said it was easy
And no one said it was fair
But no one is happy when it is

I need your loving arms to carry me
When i look in the mirror and i dont like what i see
I know you know what i desire to do
So help me follow even when its not easy to

If i wanna be real in this world
Then i have to realize
If i am gonna live by the sword
Then i'm gonna have to die

If i wanna be real in this world
Then i have to realize
If i am gonna live by the sword
Then i'm gonna have to die

I'm gonna have to die
I'm gonna die by the sword
