Not Gonna Cut


I'm not gonna cut 

I'm gonna put down the blade 

Yes I'm stuck in a strut 

But todays not the day 

I'm not gonna let my strength fade

There is a forever burning flame 

Its called pain 

But my strength is an eternal fire 

Yes that's considered a fighter 

And I'm gonna fight 

'Cause I know its right

And if I were you 

I would too
