Pillar Album

It's pressure the pleasures measure
The pressure is overbearing
Is it me myself that's caring
For every double-minded joy
And I admit that when I submit to you
I feel so unreal when I'm still
When I'm waiting for you to reveal
And from myself I seem so far away
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do

[Chorus]
I'm further, further from myself
When I'm next to you
When I run to you

I was wasted embraced it but faced it
With you inside my heart you replaced it
Can't believe you have erased it
Selfishness and foolish pride
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do

Further from my future
Further from the past
Further from the starting line
Further from the last
Further from my doubts
Further from my fears
Further from temptation that I faced throughout my years
Further from agitation
Further from distraction
The reaction of the dissatisfaction of others actions
Further from myself
Further from my flesh
Further from my birth and I'm
Further from my death

You are afraid to say it's true reality escapes you
Time after time you try to prove to yourself you're right
But your ways are not the way how long do you have to play
This game before you see I'm right it's not just a game it's a fight
You're afraid to hold out your hand don't be afraid to take a stand

Chorus:
It's a shame to be ashamed
To be ashamed of the One that we should glorify (2x)

You are afraid of the price you'll pay will you be strong or walk away
You're reasons are runnin' thin all that's left to do is give in
Inside this generation of sin there's only one place to begin
And it's at the starting line or you will be left behind

Chorus

You say it's hard to believe in something you can't see
A choice you make today will affect you eternally
Now I'm here to stay
And I've made a change
And I won't go away
From the One who gave life

Chorus

As I aimlessly wander around how could I ever expect to be found
Until looking down and seeing the light at the ground by my feet
I heard angels resound and there I avowed this is the road I would take
Just to make it there for my sake now I say that I'll never break

Chorus

I can get there by the light at my feet
You've made me walk in electricity
I can get there by the light at my feet
You are my everything all that I need

Now that I see it's so easy for me to proceed on to my destiny
And let it be seen the light that you've given thee
Let it be efficiently electricity

You can take me there

It's pressure the pleasures measure
The pressure is overbearing
Is it me myself that's caring
For every double-minded joy
And I admit that when I submit to you
I feel so unreal when I'm still
When I'm waiting for you to reveal
And from myself I seem so far away
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do

[Chorus]
I'm further, further from myself
When I'm next to you
When I run to you

I was wasted embraced it but faced it
With you inside my heart you replaced it
Can't believe you have erased it
Selfishness and foolish pride
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do

Further from my future
Further from the past
Further from the starting line
Further from the last
Further from my doubts
Further from my fears
Further from temptation that I faced throughout my years
Further from agitation
Further from distraction
The reaction of the dissatisfaction of others actions
Further from myself
Further from my flesh
Further from my birth and I'm
Further from my death

Here's a chance to show you how I feel
A chance for you to see it's real
To see just what I feel inside and who it is that's by my side
I will never change my mind
Try to torch me and you'll find
You can't turn me or deter me
No matter how you try
You can't burn me

Chorus

I know where I stand and what'll happen if you try it
I am FIREPROOF
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am FIREPROOF
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am FIREPROOF
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am FIREPROOF

Now you know what I'm all about
There's no chance I'll ever doubt
The only one who can control me
I extol the Almighty
You want me to put it on the line
And give yield to you this time
See but I won't compromise and I realize
It's my time to rise
It's my time to rise

Chorus

You'll never take me in the fire
You'll never take my own desire

YOU CANT BRING ME DOWN!
YOU CANT BRING ME DOWN!

Back in the day when nothing really mattered to me,
I only saw with my eyes, what they wanted to see.
And everything around me seemed to never change.
I'm looking for an easy way out, someone to blame.
Why does it work this way still today?
We wanna take somebody down along the way?
But I won't let that one be me,
'cause I don’t want the drama it brings.
See today isn't back in the day anymore.
I know a little more than I did before.
So don't forget before you start bringing me down,
what goes around always comes back around!

YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! Do you hear what I'm trying to say!
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! I'll never turn the other way!
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! What is it you're tryin to say?
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! It's not like I'm runnin away!

So you think you can see inside my mind?
You probably could if you just take a little time.
I know exactly what your tryin to say,
sitting in the stands aint the same as playing in the game
So I can't comprehend in my mind,
Just why we can't leave it all behind.
So come on and stand beside and hold the line,
'cause tonight is the night we cry!

YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! Do you hear what I'm trying to say!
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! I'll never turn the other way!
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! What is it you're tryin to say?
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! It's not like I'm runnin away!

OH!

Why can’t we feel what it takes for us to be real?
Why can’t we see what it takes for us to believe?
Why do we say all of these things that bring us down?

YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! Do you hear what I'm trying to say!
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! I'll never turn the other way!
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! What is it you're tryin to say?
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN! It's not like I'm runnin away!

It's not like I'm runnin away!

YOU CANT BRING ME DOWN!
