This track is about standing up for what you believe despite the consequences, don't let fear rule you.
lyrics
Stone cold my heart is frozen, bound in place by the bones I've broken. A message unspoken and an overwhelming urge to leave this earth without you. The ones I died for given my soul for, living in a cliche and yet you want more, more of me that I cannot give, grasping at life with broken figure tips. And I watched it slip through my grasp, tried to catch it but it fell too fast and I got to laugh; picking up the pieces of my twisted past. Realistic outlook, negative mentality. I am stone cold, forever faithful. Trapped beneath this hanging rope and I refuse to give up hope. I feel a lump in my throat, as the noose tightens I begin to choke. Questioning everything you ever said as I realise this is the end. Never doubted this before and my faith never faltered. I believe I believe in what I see and I won't die for an entity. I won't live by what you read. Practice what I preach and I will die fucking free.
