&quot;Lets see if your blood is as colorful as your attitude!&quot;<br /> -Travis Grantham


What does it mean
When everything
Has lost its meaning
There’s no more bleeding
‘Cause I’m hollow inside!
And what would you tell me
If I said I’m deadly?
Would you believe me?
Would you try to help me?
Well just keep on trying!

You can’t change me
You can try.
You can’t make me seem alive.
It’s too late for any of that
I’m way too past, I’m out of whack.
And I just want to leave my mark upon the world.
Is that too much to ask for?
And while your marks are on the girl
I’m out there changing the world
I’ll change the world.

Keep fighting when I’ve gone and died
Don’t waste your strength on my sacrifice
I paid the price
I made the choice
I raised my voice
I’ve come alive

Keep fighting when I’ve gone and died
Don’t waste your strength on my sacrifice
I paid the price
I made the choice
I raised my voice
I’ve come alive

And now I still remain the same
Wish I could say that I’m still sane
But overall I have not changed,
I’m just the same, everyone has changed.
Can you still look at me the same?
Should my face bring myself to shame?
I will not cry a tear for you
Don’t cry for me, just fight for me.

Keep fighting when I’ve gone and died
Don’t waste your strength on my sacrifice
I paid the price
I made the choice
I raised my voice
I’ve come alive

Keep fighting when I’ve gone and died
Don’t waste your strength on my sacrifice
I paid the price
I made the choice
I raised my voice
I’ve come alive

I’m done fighting
I’m done lying
If it takes my breath away
Then take my breath away

I’m done crying
No more hiding
Today I’m going to rise
Tonight you make the choice do I live or die?

Live…
Die…
Live…
Die…
(I will survive)
Live…
Die…
Live…
Die…
Will I survive…

This actually isn't about suicide, but it can have multiple meanings. When I wrote this I was thinking of being sick of who I am...and wanting to change for the better, even if it kills me. Oh yeah, and my band, Revelation, is currently working on this song.
