Story Behind the Song
This song deals with not making excuses for who you are and what you believe. A lot of times we feel the need to make these excuses for what ever reason, fear of rejection, unacceptance, etc. There is no reason for this. If you're happy with who you are and how you live your life then that's all that should matter, to hell with everyone else.
Lyrics
JUSTIFIED
(Verse 1)
No excuses, a search for truth has
Led me to believe theres nothing worth believing
The steps Ive taken, I know keep shaking
But at least Im only deceiving me
(Chorus)
Been kissing ground, beaten down
Wanting so much more, would question why
I have suffered way too long
So I dont feel the need to justify
(Verse 2)
The fingers stepped on, grasping for rings
I have been denied, I will make them mine
Beyond compassion, while laughter burns my ears
And solely my convictions are now to be my guide
(Repeat Chorus)
(After Chorus)
You dont see this
I wont apologize
When I have eaten
So many of your lies
(Leads K.B / C.A.)
(Bridge)
I speak, you dont hear
Somethings out of place
I sing, strong and clear
Every breath a waste
I scream, get nowhere
Realize my mistake
(End)
Bewildered stares, half-spoken prayers
Neither slowing down the change thats come between
No excuses, my search for truth has
Led me to believe, Im not worth believing
Rising from the ashes
Leaving my heart frozen
To what has come before
Refusing to acknowledge
What was once the given
Forever, forevermore
