Fight Or Flight

I see him in my dreams Behind my eye's sleeves In the darkness In the night Fright. Flight or Fight? In my drawers, In my mind. On the wall, In the sky. Down the hall, Take a right, That is when it's Fight or Flight. Decide then and there. Too late, I've already met the bear. Take the punches Feel that pain Turn around Everyday it's the same. Face the door When I go to bed No lock I could wake up dead Up all night A blade in my hand Soggy eyes This night was not what I planned I don't want to die Nor do I want the pain This choice was not mine He drives me insane Stuck in one room With plenty of walls Can't last much longer He's just down the hall Down the hall Take a right That's when it's Fight or Flight Now I've gone Moved away But I still feel tied to his chain How many months will I get Before I start to forget The fear still fresh in my mind His angry words The very fine line It's getting to much again I'm loosing sleep Not much longer will this tired mind keep Even with a love Right by my side He still creeps into my mind And I look down the hall And to the right This time I've decided to fight.
