Not Without a Fight
I won't let this consume me
I won't let this use me
No, it won't depress me
And no, it won't surpress me.
Even though my soul has died,
Even through the tears I've cried,
I swear, I won't go down tonight
No, not without a fight.
I will not lose my will to live
I'll think of all I have to give
I know in my heart I'll beat this
Even though I don't know what with.
This time will not affect me
This music won't depress me
This world will not compress me
My life will not be messy.
I swear, I will be stronger
My life will go on longer
I'll swim through this pool of water
I swear, I won't go to the slaughter.
I will find a way to take flight
Even without a light
But i do know, try as I might,
I won't go down without a fight.
