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
