Skillet - Not Afraid

Escape from the past that was stolen
And all your toxic fumes inhaled
The scapegoat of angels who've fallen
But my soul is not for sale

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
Even though you tore me up
Left me with sores and blood
I was suffering
You could never break my will
It made me stronger still
I was smothering
I can't breathe

[Chorus: John Cooper]
Spent my whole life living underground
Foot on my back tryna keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid
I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
My life, my heart, my soul
I'm not afraid
My breath, my blood, my all
I'm not afraid


[Verse 2: John Cooper]
You thought you would always control mе
You clipped my wings, my dreams in two
I guess that you don't еven know me
'Cause I'll never be like you

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
And even though the threat is real
My backbone's made of steel
I'm fine, suffering
And when the pressure's in my face
I'll never bow or break
'Cause I'm not afraid
I can't breathe

[Chorus: John Cooper]
Spent my whole life living underground
Foot on my back tryna keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid
I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

[Instrumental Break]


[Bridge: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I can't breathe
Suffering
I can't breathe

[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
Spent my whole life living underground (Oh)
Foot on my back tryna keep me down
Come too far to turn back now
I am not afraid
I will keep the faith
Never back down 'til my dying day
Staring death straight in the face
I am not afraid

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
My life, my heart, my soul
I'm not afraid
My breath, my blood, my all
I am not afraid

[Outro: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I can't breathe
Suffering
I can't breathe
