Choosing Between Two Fates

I am a world that hides A twisting turning sea of emotion Destruction of the negative is My one and only mission I've fought a thousand wars I found out what it takes to make it through The trust within ourselves And what it could mean to take hold of you When two worlds collide I'm damaged and I'm trapped inside a cell And when I try to hide I force others to fall into their Hell You know we're strong enough To survive if we end it all right here But should we go further And push right through this bleeding wall of fear? The sun is bright and shining down And in its light, I act Don't wanna push, don't wanna fight Just want to retract But if I just put in the work I feel that we could fly I've got to let my anger sleep To know the reasons why Such an odd twist of fate we're in In the mirror's light I see my eyes tearing Perhaps it's best to just step on And take you by my side to ride into the dawn Taking my sweet time Waiting for someone else to move The cliff I'm sliding down on The edges here are far too smooth
