Defences - Might And Main

{verse 1}
I open my eyes, filled up with hope
I’m seeking all the answers, but it’s never enough
I’m facing the mountain, yeah i’m climbing up
Away from the path you thought you put me on

I will rise above the ashes of doubt
And stand up to be counted

{chorus 1}
The smoke cleared and i’m still standing
This is a world where anything could happen but
Were you waiting for my defeat?
Brush it off, i landed on my feet

{verse 2}
You were my deity, a lifetime ago
Took your words for gospel, all i needed to know
Protected by innocence, i couldn’t see
The depth of the ignorance surrounding me

And now i rise above the ashes of doubt
I’ll stand up to be counted

{chorus 2}
The smoke cleared and i’m still standing
This is a world where anything could happen but
Were you waiting for my defeat?
Brush it off, i landed on my feet
Now your words don’t mean anything
Move along, i landed on my feet
Dust has settled, now i can breathe

Dust has settled, now i can breathe

{chorus 1}

{chorus 2 - extended}
Move along, i landed on my feet
Despite the falls you expected of me
The dust has settled and i can finally breathe
Now your words don’t mean anything
Move along, i landed on my feet
Despite the falls you expected of me
I’ll lie in glory while you stare in disbelief
Now your words don’t mean anything

{outro}
Are you waiting? are you waiting?
Brush it off, i landed on my feet
Are you waiting? are you waiting?
Dust is settling, now i can breathe
Are you waiting? are you waiting?
Now your words don’t mean anything
Are you waiting? are you waiting?
Dust is settling now i can breathe
Are you waiting? are you waiting?
Are you waiting? are you waiting?
Dust is settling, now i can breathe
