Skillet – Victorious lyrics

[Verse 1: John Cooper]
I hear 'em talk to me
But they're not listening
The words are kerosene
They don't know who I am
They'd never understand
What it's like to be me
I don't wanna be here
So stuck inside
Tell me how long have I been here?
I'm losing track of time

[Pre-Chorus: Jen Ledger]
In all this loneliness and all this emptiness
Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence
I'm not gonna stay, tell me there's a way

[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
High above it all (Above it all)
Victorious, they torment us
Far too long I've grown (Far too long)
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can't face it all (Face it all)
Victorious, victorious

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2: John Cooper]
Can't change this overnight
Though Heaven knows I've tried
Here I go again
I need a savior now
Someone to break me out
Who's been the place I've been
Don't wanna be forgotten
When I'm dead and gone
I just wanna be the one who
Got up and came back strong

[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
High above it all (Above it all)
Victorious, they torment us
Far too long I've grown (Far too long)
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can't face it all (Face it all)
Victorious, victorious

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge: John Cooper]
Help me 'cause I'm falling
When I can't sleep, but I'm holding on
Can't face this night alone

[Pre-Chorus: Jen Ledger]
In all this loneliness and all this emptiness
Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence
I'm not gonna stay
Tell me there's a way

[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
High above it all (Above it all)
Victorious, they torment us
Far too long I've grown (Far too long)
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can't face it all (Face it all)
Victorious, victorious

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
