I can't think
You're in my head
Still with me
In my bed
All the words you've ever said
On constant replay
A broken record
Things still go your way
Can I run away and hide?
Put away this anger inside?
Can I get away from you?
Are we finally through?
It's a shame
That we still play gamesm
That I still cry
Many nights a week
That I see you in my sleep
Defeated is what I am
A fraud and a sham
Thrown down too many times
Easier to stay there
The fight is exhausting
The fight is draining
Is it worth it?
Can I just quit?
Would you care?
Would I dare?
Give it up already
Keep my heartbeat steady
Shaking and quivering in fear
Just draw me near
Think about something else
Anything
Just escape the pain
Make it through the rain
Keep the faith
Hold the hope
It will get better
My life matters
Take a swing
Believe in anything
Tell me lies
I won't believe your disguise
But I'll want to
Go along with what you do
I can't think
I can't focus
We'll just turn into dust
Fade into yesterday
Find somewhere to lay
Let it be here
My dear
Right here
Forever
We find ourselves in this endeavor
Hold on tight
I have to fight tonight
