Pound the Pavement

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I could put a finger on it I wouldn't feel like counterfeit But now I'm lying in a pool of my own sweat Lost in the skin that I live in Selling these lies that just won't be forgiven And I'd write a novel on it Just to hear the world tell me it's shit 'Cause that's how you think when its hush-hush, wink-wink, breaths on the brink And the walls are caving in [Pre-Chorus] I'm not gonna suffocate, no, not today [Chorus] I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement Each step is a life you're saving Get up, get up, get up Rather than stare at the ceiling I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement These streets hold the peace your craving Get up, get up, get up Rather than drown in this feeling [Verse 2] If I could put a finger on it I wouldn't feel like a hypocrite But there's a crack in us all that'll we will never fix This is the skin that we fit in I have lost count for the sins I've forgiven And the air loosens the grip You can't ignore what really exists Nor runaway, hide, choke, fear, or dismiss, no way to predict Does this end or just begin? [Chorus] I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement Each step is a life you're saving Get up, get up, get up Rather than stare at the ceiling I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement These streets hold the peace your craving Get up, get up, get up Rather than drown in this feeling [Bridge] And I will run 'til I can't feel anything 'Til the sweat, it breaks the fever And my legs start giving in And I'm not sure where I'm going When I'm not sure where my mind went I'll just pound the pavement I'll just pound the pavement [Chorus] I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement Each step is a life you're saving Get up, get up, get up Rather than stare at the ceiling I'm gonna pound, gonna pound the pavement These streets hold the peace your craving Get up, get up, get up Rather than drown in this feeling
