Ding ding ding

Ding ding ding The bell does ring Another round What's that buzzing sound Open my eyes Dark skies So many why's Trying to last the round My hands feel bound With a left life hits me hard I stagger clearly jarred Tucking in my chin I know I can't win But I just can't give in I take a wicked right Day turns to night Life knocks me to a knee My vision starts to flee Getting so hard to see I shake my head Don't want to get out of bed But I must In me I trust Standing straight Not feeling so great But I was on my feet Not yet ready to admit defeat Battered Tattered Not so graceful is my dance But I took a chance Fought back Life's attack Worn Torn But for this I was born The attack I withstood I knew I could Strength comes from the battle within Someday I may win But till then I can't give in Refuse to bow Don't know how Fight all day That's my way Just to go to sleep Weep And all night I continue this fight Trying to keep my light Tired beyond all But refuse to fall Eyes so red I go to bed I dream Wake up and scream How long can I last I'm getting old so fast Madness From all the sadness Left somewhere behind Wish that I could find Peace of mind Continue this fight Till dawns early light I wake up and see My demons followed me In the morning when I wake It is just another take My soul starts to bend There is no end Sometimes I sleep Hear me weep I'm in to deep
