Lyrics
As I've walked through
Reflecting on a journey through difficult experiences
The valley of the underworld
Referring to challenging or dark times
With death lurking close behind
Confronting the proximity of death
You see the smile on my face
Masking inner struggles with a facade of happiness
Might be replaced
Acknowledging the potential for internal pain
With my screams of please
Expressing a desperate plea for help
Take pity I am ignorant
Recognizing personal ignorance and vulnerability
It's my prayer
Describing a prayer for guidance or assistance
The faces I have known
Highlighting the unfamiliarity in familiar faces
They all have stranger's eyes
Suggesting a sense of alienation or disconnection
Within this inhuman world
Commenting on the harshness of the world
I've beaten death all my life
Claiming victory over death in past challenges
And I will not deny
Acknowledging the inevitability of death
The existence of some faith
Admitting a belief in some form of faith or higher power
When I'm about to die
Expressing reliance on faith in the face of death
It's my prayer
Reiterating the prayer for guidance or intervention
Take me away some other day
Expressing a desire to be taken away at another time
Since I have seen it
Referring to witnessing something significant
My scars reveal
Indicating visible emotional or physical wounds
That I'm not ready to burn
Asserting a lack of readiness for intense suffering
Since I have seen it
Reiterating the impact of witnessing something significant
My scars reveal
Highlighting ongoing emotional or physical scars
That I am not ready to burn
Affirming a resistance to succumbing to intense pain
