this is what it used to look like
following through never giving in

this is what it used to look like
following through never giving in
july 25 1989
my body temperature is rising
there’s an aching in my back
my knees are giving out
friends tell me i’m burning up
they see smoke pouring out
keep telling me the speed i’ve reached will never be matched
but i stop never
my mind is in overload
lights flashing faster and faster in my eyes
where most people give up
i continue following through, never giving in
sheer determination is my hunger
a sheer determination in my heart
i’m staring the evil down
i’m showing no smile, not even a flinch
making it frown
i’m following through
i have such a long way to go
and yet i’ve gone such a greater distance already
the devil puts pressure atop, no matter i double it
the more weight the stronger i become
following through (never giving in)
following through (never giving in)
following through (never giving in)
i’m in overdrive
smoke everywhere
many say they admire me
that i show a true strength only a man of heart can show
i’m never giving up
following my destiny to the end
i’m burning up, but continuing on
lights flashing in my eyes
faster and faster hunger in my heart
sheer determination, i’m following through
never giving in
