Sanitize

“Everyone goes through trials and tribulations in their life, occasionally falling in the deepest of valleys. In my honest opinion, it’s not those hardships that define a person’s worth, but instead, a person’s true value should be determined by their response in the face of such adversity and whether or not they pick themselves up, dust themselves off, take those lessons learned, and try to become a better person, each and every day.”

“Sanitize” by Matt Galles

I’m done with my insecurities and I’m feeling just fine
And I will never mirror your narcissistic paradigm
I’ve made it my mission not to repeat yesteryear’s mistakes
‘Cause the ghosts of the past are not what you have to face

If pain is the worst thing to come from this life,
Then I’ve been through hell and back
If rehabilitation and assurance can mend everything,
Then it shouldn’t be a problem to get on the right track

Close all the wounds and remedy the scars
Forging a brand-new perception after coming so far
Focused and driven to regain control,
A methodic approach to sanitize my soul

More centered and down to earth than I know I’ve ever been
I’ve become the puppetmaster of these mercurial emotions within
A sense of pride in being able to purge the demons I once kept concealed
‘Cause I believe in what I see, and the change I see is real

If fear is the worst thing to come from this life,
Then I’ve been through hell and back
If discipline and self-reflection can overcome everything,
Then it shouldn’t be a problem to get on the right track

Close all the wounds and remedy the scars
Forging a brand-new perception after coming so far
Focused and driven to regain control,
A methodic approach to sanitize my soul

Priorities in order and I know what I want, know what I need
And I will no longer mindlessly follow, it’s my time to lead
Learning from bygone failures in order to grow and to thrive
Rejecting complacency, I cannot be content simply trying to survive

If despair is the worst thing to come from this life,
Then I’ve been through hell and back
If patience and perseverance can alleviate everything,
Then it shouldn’t be a problem to get on the right track

Close all the wounds and remedy the scars
Forging a brand-new perception after coming so far
Focused and driven to regain control,
A methodic approach to sanitize my soul
