Bitter Fight
Between light and dark, black and white
Lies my heart in a bitter fight
Succumb to compassion or choose to be numb
To help another human is considered wrong
I've done all I can but it's breaking me down
My air is constricted, my heart violently pounds
If I continue on, I will lose myself
I will fade away until nothing's left
I'll go back to the way that I was before
Alone and fighting my own private war
Bitter and broken, no one by my side
Lost and confused, not feeling alive
I'll open old scars, tear through fresh skin
Walk down old paths and relive the pain
