Standoff

Standoff
Standoff is the fourth track on Hurt, and the third and final single to promote the album. Remix stems were released as a remix contest for Hurt. The first place winner of the contest was Shadrow, with CryoshoK as the runner-up. Standoff begins with a lone guitar, with Western-style sound effects joining. It then jumps into a piano-led verse, before a house-style chorus. The remix contest confirmed the BPM as 120. '''I can't justify the things that I have done And all my past is what I am running from I try to figure out the reason I am here But no I don't know why I live my life in fear I ignore And I avoid my fate But how long can I hold on to all this empty space I know what I have to do to open my eyes A live or die showdown between me and this life And I don't know if I can accept what's really just been all my life An epic standoff between what I think is real and all the lies I live in denial Can't accept my fate And I try everything to cope with all this pain And in reality the only thing I fear Is not finding anything before I disappear Everything is gonna be okay (Gotta tell myself) Just gotta take it day to day (Gotta tell myself) Everything is gonna be alright (Gotta tell myself) I just can't run away (Gotta tell myself) Everything that I am working up to (Gotta tell myself) Everything that I am trying to do (Gotta tell myself) Has got nothing to do with you I'll be okay I'll face every single fear I've ever had today And I don't know if I can accept what's really just been all my life An epic standoff between what I think is real and all the lies Nothing I say or do is ever gonna make me see That stuff ain't up to me Nothing's changing me Just let me be Everything is gonna be okay (Gotta tell myself) Just gotta take it day to day (Gotta tell myself) Everything is gonna be alright (Gotta tell myself) I just can't run away (Gotta tell myself) An epic standoff between what I think is real and all the lies Nothing I say or do is ever gonna make me see That stuff ain't up to me Nothing's changing me Just let it be''' Shadrow's Standoff Remix
