Beyond the outskirts of your fears

So, life isn’t a walk in the park, a bed of roses.

No, it’s not! Who told you that?

It’s a never-ending battle.

Sometimes, it’s a war you didn’t sign up for.

Only the brave get to tell the story.

On this journey, it’s do or die, sink or swim.

In the end, you make your own luck.

So tell me now, what are you going to do?

Run to your mother’s arms?

Are you ready to live your life to the fullest?

Are you ready to finally own your imperfections?

Are you ready to face all the ghosts from your past?

You can only live beyond the outskirts of your fears.

There’s no other way. You gotta play the game.

Play the victim or the hero. It’s your call.

You can only live beyond the outskirts of your fears.

It’s not easy when you keep telling yourself you’re weak.

Stop dragging those chains covered in shame.

Don’t be a nameless wimp.

Now’s the time to find your inner strength.

Fight for air or stay uptight.

’Cause life isn’t fair, and no one’s got your back.

It’s wild and raw, with rules we can’t fully grasp.

Your youth and beauty won’t last forever.

Why do you keep putting off the joy you could have now?

So tell me now, what are you going to do?

Cry in your mother’s lap?

Are you ready to live your life to the fullest?

Are you ready to finally own your imperfections?

Are you ready to face all the ghosts from your past?

You can only live beyond the outskirts of your fears.

There’s no other way. You gotta play the game.

Play the victim or the hero. It’s your call.

You can only live beyond the outskirts of your fears.

Summon your courage and break through those doors.

It all comes down to falling and rising,

Taking action when it matters most.

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Take a deep breath now.

Feel the air in your lungs and the blood running through your veins.

You’re alive. 

Are you ready to live your life to the fullest?

Are you ready to finally own your imperfections?

Are you ready to face all the ghosts from your past?

You can only live beyond the outskirts of your fears.

There’s no other way. You gotta play the game.

Play the victim or the hero. It’s your call.

You can only live beyond the outskirts of your fears.

Make a decision.

Be your own best friend or worst enemy.

No one can save you

If you’re not willing to save yourself.

Only when you face your fears

You're ready to live again.

There’s no other way.

There’s no other way.
