Core Pride (From "Blue Exorcist")

Hey, okay! Ya life is going swell until the day that you find There’s a black box that’s hidden inside of your mind Passing the limit line, You’re in it for a ride It’s about time you step out And start living your life Life is a bitch, yeah, we all know that It ain’t perfect but I’ll give it a chance READY - STOP! Ya know, it’s only the way of the world So just do you best, Forget the rest, yeah HERE WE GO All this time, I thought if I - I didn’t feel the pain, I’d be fine So I suppressed my heart and mind, Letting all my passion die I guess I’m not that different after all, From the people I’ve always despised And I hate myself that it’s come to this, That I’m holding myself back without even really knowing why No matter what I do, I know my dream It has not a single chance of coming true But no one can ever hope to smother out this flame in my heart Even if the rain keeps pouring down forever, Every day and night, And soaks me to my very core I will still keep this fire burning, Deep inside of my soul, my pride, burns bright It started pouring down, just like I believed it would But then to my surprise, many friends were gathered at my side While we talked of hopes and dreams All our fun was pure and good, But we got riled up, and we started a fist fight We haven’t changed a bit, I will admit From our early childhood days Cause back then we still fought all the same When we wanted to run away (ohh!) I still remember when you laughed and said, “Time hasn’t changed you at all” I couldn’t help but laugh too, Til I couldn’t even hear the rainfall We gotta stand our ground, Live with no fear, Or even the thought alone will bring us down I’m scared when I think about The seconds I have let go to waste… But now I see, In a moment when the sky is clear, I’m really my own enemy But I know I can’t give up just yet Deep inside of my soul, my pride, burns bright READY - STOP Look, it’s only the way of the world So just do you best, Forget the rest, yeah HERE WE GO! READY - STOP Look, it’s only the way of the world So just do you best, Forget the rest, yeah HERE WE GO! No matter what I do, Whenever I’m alone at night, I start to lose myself a little more to the fight But I know, if you were by my side, Then I could change that fate – And make it through this final storm And whatever else might be in store No matter how things turn out, If I look lame - That’s something I’m no longer worried about As long as I manage to rewrite my fate, I don’t give a damn They say that destiny is set in stone, But I don’t care if that’s what I’ve been told I will prove that I can change it And until then, I won’t quit Cause deep inside, my core pride I know it’s always burning bright I can’t just let it go out yet This fire in my heart Under my breath, I can’t forget The feeling, burning hot I can’t just let it go out yet This fire in my heart Through tears and sweat, Till my last breath, I’ll be the light My pride burns bright!
