Me Against The World
With every drawn breath
The pain inside grows
Am I just fanning the flames
Waiting for the forest to catch
Or has it already with me trapped inside
Perhaps the scars upon my skin
Give me the courage to fight on
Maybe the courage is a lie
My body is just a pane of shattered glass
My soul the black smoke rising from the fire
Is all I fear to be real inside me
Ive been told im standing on the edge
I fight back the shadows as I look down
Is hell my home
Do demons rule all I know
Is courage a gift or a curse
My corrupted soul is eating me alive
The shadows holding me down
I know my fear is growing
Yet still I try to fight
I am a fool to think
I can win this war
Just me against the world
