Skillet - Not Afraid Lyrics

Escape from the past that was stolen
And all your toxic fumes inhaled
The scapegoat of angels who've fallen
But my soul is not for sale

Even though you tore me up
Left me with sores and blood
I was (suffering)
You could never break my will
It made me stronger still
I was (smothering)

(I can't breathe)

Spent my whole life living underground
Foot on my back trying to keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid

I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

My life, my heart, my soul
I'm not afraid
My breath, my blood, my all
I'm not afraid

You thought you would always control me
You clipped my wings my dreams in two
I guess that you don't even know me
'Cause I'll never be like you

And even though the threat is real
My backbones made of steel
I'm fine (suffering)
And when the pressures in my face
I'll never bow or break
'Cause I'm (not afraid)

(I can't breathe)

Spent my whole life living underground
Foot on my back trying to keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid

I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

I can't breathe
(Smothering)
I can't breathe

Spent my whole life living underground
Foot on my back trying to keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid

I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

My life, my heart, my soul
I'm not afraid
My breath, my blood, my all
I'm not afraid

I can't breathe
(Smothering)
I can't breathe
