  • Don't cry victim to me
    Everything we are and used to be is buried and gone
    Now it's my turn to speak
    It's my turn to expose and release what's been killing me

    I'll be dammed fighting you
    It's impossible, impossible
    Say goodbye with no sympathy

    I'm entitled to overcome
    Completely stunned, I'm numb
    Knock me down, throw me to the floor
    There's no pain, I can't feel no more
    I'm entitled to overcome
    Overcome

    Finally, see what's beneath
    Everything I am and hope to be
    Cannot be lost

    I'll be dammed fighting you
    You're impossible, impossible
    Say goodbye with no sympathy

    I'm entitled to overcome
    Completely stunned, I'm numb
    Knock me down, throw me to the floor
    There's no pain, I can't feel no more
    I'm entitled to overcome
    Overcome

    (Overcome)
    You'll never know what I was thinking before you came 'round
    Take a step, take a breath, put your guard down
    (Overcome)
    I cannot worry anymore of what you think of me
    I may be crazy, but I'm buried in your memory

    I'm entitled to overcome
    Completely stunned, I'm numb
    Knock me down, throw me to the floor
    There's no pain, I can't feel no more (look in my eyes)
    I'm entitled to overcome (I'll fight 'til I die)
    Completely stunned, I'm numb (look in my eyes)
    I'm entitled to overcome (I'll fight 'til I die)
    Completely stunned, I'm numb
    I'm entitled to overcome

    I may be crazy, but I'm buried in your memory Writer/s: Mark Tremonti, Scott Stapp
