Oh World I See
Oh, world I see
As the flames of life engulf me
Do you ensnare my passion and dreams
or push me to this brink of insanity
As my breath shortens and my pace quickens
At the end I see the decimation
The scars, the cuts, the holes, the death
My life all lead up to this, the end
I may give, I may break
But not without a fight, I’ll stake
this what you tried to take
My heart is mine to give and mine to share
So for you and you and him and her I’ll bare
Who I am or who I’ll be
For everything this world breaks and hurts
It still will never take me.
