I’m not becoming insane —

I’m not becoming insane — insane, insane, insane I’m not becoming insane — I’m learning to remain Cold nights, metal walls Talking to silence when no one calls Every breath felt razor thin Like the storm was under my skin I’m not becoming insane — I carried it alone I’m not becoming insane — I built a mind of stone They told me I would disappear Said I wouldn’t make it here Said the weight would drag me down Said I’d never turn around I’m not becoming insane — I stayed when others ran I’m not becoming insane — I became the man Then a small voice called my name Nothing ever stayed the same Suddenly the noise went still Something stronger than my will I’m not becoming insane — I have to remain Still sane — cause I carry the flame Driving through the endless night Holding everything in sight Someone breathing in the back Keeping me on track I’m not becoming insane — insane, insane, insane I’m not becoming insane — I’m breaking the chain Everything that tried to bend me Everything that couldn’t end me Every shadow in my brain Couldn’t pull me down again I’m not becoming insane — I turned into steel I’m not becoming insane — I learned how to feel Still here. Still standing. Still sane.
