Beyond that lies other code
You wish you had

You perceive as sage advice what
Paints you in the finest light, don't
Be surprised when you must fight

This is not a drill
You can make it happen
Exercise your will

Chorus to fade

Great song pal, really liked the chorus and 1st prechorus just a little change if that's ok with you... It may have been the way I was reading it but at the end of the chorus instead of "said this was not going to hurt" maybe "said it wasn't going to hurt" just flows a bit better the way I read it but it's your song so don't let me change it if your happy with it
