I took it there

[Verse 1] Shadows stretch across the floor, The clock has stopped at half past four, The world outside can wait to turn, I've got a fire I refuse to burn out. Empty bottles, scattered dreams, But every crack lets out a gleam, I'm not the one they left for dead, I'm the echo ringing in their heads. [Chorus] Let the dawn creep in from afar, I don't care, I don't care! This night is my medal, my star, I took it there, I took it there! Let the sun try to steal my crown, I won't bow, I won't break down, This darkness is mine to wear, I took it there, I took it there! [Verse 2] They said the road would turn to stone, That I would walk this path alone, But every scar is now a thread, Weaving glory through the threadbare. I've danced with ghosts and made them friends, I've bent the rules to fit my ends, No verdict written on my skin, Can tell me where I should begin. [Bridge] And if the morning comes to call, I'll meet it standing, proud and tall, With every star I've swallowed whole, Burning bright inside my soul. [Chorus] Let the dawn creep in from afar, I don't care, I don't care! This night is my medal, my star, I took it there, I took it there! Let the sun try to steal my crown, I won't bow, I won't break down, This darkness is mine to wear, I took it there, I took it there! [Outro] I took it there... I took it there... Let it come, let it fall, I'm already beyond it all. I took it there...
