Standoff

[Verse 1]
I can't justify the things that I have done
And all my past is what I am running from
I try to figure out the reason I am here
But no, I don't know why I live my life in fear
I ignore and I avoid my fate
But how long can I hold onto all this empty space?
I know what I have to do to open my eyes
A live-or-die showdown between me and this life

[Chorus]
And I don't know if I can accept
What's really just been all my life
An epic standoff between
What I think is real and all the lies

[Verse 2]
I live in denial, can't accept my fate
And I try everything to cope with all this pain
And in reality, the only thing I fear
Is not finding anything before I disappear

[Refrain]
Everything is gonna be okay (Gotta tell myself)
Just gotta take it day to day (Gotta tell myself)
Everything is gonna be alright (Gotta tell myself)
I just can't run away (Gotta tell myself)
Everything that I am working to (Gotta tell myself)
Everything that I am trying to do (Gotta tell myself)
Has got nothing to do with you
I'll be okay
I'll face every single fear I've ever had today

[Chorus]
And I don't know if I can accept
What's really just been all my life
An epic standoff between
What I think is real and all the lies

[Bridge]
Nothing I say or do is ever gonna make me see
That stuff ain't up to me
Nothing's changing me
Just let me be

[Refrain]
Everything is gonna be okay
Just gotta take it day to day
Everything is gonna be alright
I just can't run away

[Chorus]
An epic standoff between
What I think is real and all the lies

[Outro]
Nothing I say or do is ever gonna make me see
That stuff ain't up to me
Nothing's changing me
Just let it be
