Views That Never Cease, to Keep Me from Myself

I am so far away And it's more than I can take I haven't heard your voice in days I haven't heard your voice in days What is the measure of a man? Is it wading through the worst? Or is the measure of a man Admitting when he is defeated? But I am not and will not be defeated I have given everything in my life for this I'm counting down the days Though I've been broken and beaten I know I can't let it, I know I can't let it win This feeling that there is nothing left That my purpose is gone These views, they never cease To keep me from myself and who I am So what makes the measure of a man? Is it being too stubborn to let go of the good and move on? But I am not and will not be defeated I will wade through the worst of it all I'm counting down the days Though I've been broken and beaten I am not done with this I know I will not fall This is my deepest dream Or is this a nightmare in disguise? What makes the measure of a man? Is it always trying to do right? I'm' so far away And I don't know if it's more than I can take With these views, that never cease to keep me from myself With these views, they never cease to keep me from myself I will keep moving forward when I have nothing left I am not and will not be defeated I've given everything in my life for this But I am not and will not be defeated I've given everything in my life for this
