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
