Standing Without You
Standing Strong: Defying Darkness and Embracing Life
Lyrics
I stand tall, though all day I feel dead
Despite feeling emotionally drained throughout the day, I maintain an outward appearance of strength and resilience.
Chronic thoughts, I can't get them out of my head
I continuously struggle with persistent thoughts that I cannot shake from my mind.
And now the aching weakness starts burning through
I now feel a growing, throbbing sense of weakness emerging within me.
Can't stand to sit in silence, standing, I'm standing without you
I cannot bear the emptiness of silence, preferring to stand even though it means being without you.
Without you the clouds clear overhead
In your absence, the obstacles and troubles I faced seem to dissipate.
Without you I'm breathing once again
I am able to breathe freely and comfortably again without the burden of your presence.
Without you I've found out how to live
Being apart from you has taught me how to live independently.
Without you I can stand
Even in your absence, I have the strength to endure and persevere.
Lay in wait for another chance to prey
I wait patiently for another opportunity, but it feels like a predatory cycle.
The forked fang draws closer everyday
The threat or danger I face seems to approach closer each passing day.
Suffer weakness, impending doom
I endure a sense of vulnerability and impending disaster.
The road is fucked, but we can make it and we'll make it without you
Despite the challenging path ahead, we believe we can succeed without your involvement.
Without you the clouds clear overhead
Similar to earlier, in your absence, things seem clearer and less complicated.
Without you we're breathing once again
We, without your presence, feel a renewed sense of freedom to breathe and live.
Without you we've found out how to live
We've learned how to live independently, even without your influence.
Without you we can stand
As a collective, we are capable of standing strong without you.
There's no rest for the rotting
There's no respite or relief for those decaying or deteriorating.
No justice for the weak unwilling
Those lacking strength or unwilling to fight for justice won't find it easily.
Can't see the end from sitting
Stagnation won't provide clarity on the way forward.
So better get up and start fucking standing
It's imperative to rise and actively stand instead of remaining passive.
Stand tall, stand tall, stand
Reiteration of the importance of standing tall and strong despite challenges.
Stand tall, stand tall,
-Stand tall, stand tall, stand
-Stand tall, stand tall
-Stand up
A direct command or encouragement to rise and take action.
Stand up
A reinforcement of the previous command to stand up and face challenges.
