[Intro: Tim Lambesis]

I refuse to let go of the memories

'Cause they've changed everything inside of me

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis & Jake Luhrs, both]

If I could go back now to save myself the loss

Substance-less character brought back would be the cost

Agony today is tomorrow's strength

So don't run away 'cause misery is...

Evolving into something that we can't see

Evolving and becoming, transforming

So don't run away

[Chorus 1: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, Tim Lambesis]

The pain can never be erased

Remain and turn it into strength, turn it into strength

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis & Jake Luhrs]

What do we value in the midst of complacency?

But in despair, we beg for something, anything

Even our mistakes (even our mistakes) can have the power

To light the way (to light the way) like a glaring tower

[Chorus 2: Josh Gilbert, Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

The pain can never be erased

Remain and turn it into strength

From our failures, we are refined

Replacing frailty, allowing us to be redefined

[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]

Healed scars can be stronger than skin

The wounds we have can be rewritten

Redefined, redefined, redefined

Agony today is tomorrow's strength...

Redefined

So don't run away

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

The pain can never be erased

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both]

The pain can never be erased

Remain and turn it into strength

The pain can never be erased

Remain and turn it into strength

From our failures, we are refined

Replacing frailty, allowing us to be redefined

From our failures we are refined

Replacing frailty, allowing us to be redefined

[Outro: Tim Lambesis]

Don't run away

Misery's evolving
