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.
