Everything Is a Fight
rise against opression if you could
but you are far too unwell
as scathed as i am
from this constant battle
the only thing i have undestood
is that everything is a fight
picking my battles
just soo i can live a happy life
settle for nothing
because last time settling was a mistake
everything is a fight
the mailman, the power companies
phone bills
spirituality
sexual identity
political views
medicated for whats wrong
so they can be right
Everyday biting my tongue
tongue in cheek doesnt exist
fighting to better myself
as futile as that is
i may as well sign up for the war
because its endless
absolutley endless
and even signing up for a fight
i would have to fight you
on who i should fight
giving up is way easier
yet that would be the path of least resistance
where i fight myself
and lose everyday
everything is a fight
everything
from making someone understand you
struggling from day to day
no clarity ever
just two sides with opposing views
both saying their right
So what are we fighting for
if everybody gets it
power
control
money
the glory of living a lie
to be sold to the masses as an example
of how right they are
for making your entire life a fight
I'm not sure where the pay off is
winning by overwhelming people with confusion
being the posterboy or girl
for something and trying to fail
it's endless, it's pointless, couldnt pay me to care
its just not worth the fight
i guess thats all there is
sell your happy ending for another endless futile battle
for somebody elses glory
just to feel like you belong
and then smile everytime you wish to die
cause thats all there is left
fight to survive
fight for the truth
fight for your rights
fight to fight over everything that is a fight
