Hell or High Water Video (MV)

I've been to places darker than the black holes
I've been running from the devil, I don't mean Colson
I've been dependent on chemicals to keep going
I was devoid of my soul, and I was never knowing
If I was able to pull myself up and trudge on
The ground I stood upon was crumbling all along
And I was left alone in the ruins of my home
Acted like a drone, couldn't step outta my zone
I was only fourteen but I had seen the losses
Of many people close to me, I've seen too many crosses
Covering caskets, I'm crying like a faucet
So many tears my eyes float out of their sockets
It wouldn't slow down, I couldn't stop it
Standing on the ledge, my body was close to dropping
Then I heard a voice in my head saying it's not it
This is not your time, son, rise above the nonsense!
Keep your head up high, and always rise up
Stand tall, my friend, you never give up
Come hell or high water, we can do this
Whatever life throws at us, we'll get through this
Keep your head up high, and always rise up
Stand tall, my friend, you never give up
Come hell or high water, we can do this
Whatever life throws at us, we'll get through this
It's been a long road, a long way to recovery
And I am not there yet, this still isn't fully me
See, when you're digging deep you find out that underneath
You're layered like an onion, so even when you face defeat
There are sides of you the demons couldn't reach
And there are things about you that nobody could teach
We're all the same yet different personalities
Pages of a different book but still in the same library
I was a broken child faced with my mortality
I wasn't giving up, the world was giving up on me
That's what I felt at the time, but I was wrong, you see
The world was giving me all kinds of opportunities
But I just couldn't see outside of my fugazi
Blinded to the goodness that constantly surrounds me
I guess that's depression, and though it still haunts me
I won't let it get to me again, so get off me!
Keep your head up high, and always rise up
Stand tall, my friend, you never give up
Come hell or high water, we can do this
Whatever life throws at us, we'll get through this
Keep your head up high, and always rise up
Stand tall, my friend, you never give up
Come hell or high water, we can do this
Whatever life throws at us, we'll get through this
Look, I know that this got really cheesy
I didn't mean for this little tale to get so sleazy
But if you're struggling to hold on, gotta believe me
I know the world is scary, but it's better than we see
When I was down I know that you could never reach me
But now I'm reaching out to you all so please be
Open to the fact that there's somebody who does see
And does know what you're going through, and it's not easy
Just know you're not alone, you're standing there with me
And millions of people struggling to feel free
To get over their fears and insecurities
To have an honest smile and truly feel happy
I don't know you, I don't know your story
But I know the pain that you feel, and it's gory
Let me help you carry the load like we're family
Tell me what burdens you, so you can finally heal
Keep your head up high, and always rise up
Stand tall, my friend, you never give up
Come hell or high water, we can do this
Whatever life throws at us, we'll get through this
Keep your head up high, and always rise up
Stand tall, my friend, you never give up
Come hell or high water, we can do this
Whatever life throws at us, we'll get through this
