Despite It All

Countless times I catch myself in
making the same mistake.
And everytime again I shield myself
from the consequences of my actions.
It's so easy to get lured in and lose your head.
But you got to be strong and true instead.
How's it possible that I always cross that path?
Like a highway, hazardous to pass.
Yet I'm drawn in by some kind of violent force.
Just so that history can repeat itself again.
Making me stronger each time I survive.
Every time I get back up and
knock the dust off from my clothes,
I know I'll make it one day.
Despite all the hardships I'll never give up.
