War Zone

My life is under attack
Enemies hiding in shadows
Snipers, ruining me so silently

Fighting an enemy I can't see

No hands to hold
Everyone is against me
Including you

The insides of me
Betraying me
Twisting me into despair

Grab your weapon
Target right at me
But watch me stand after each hit

Because I am better than these shadows

Take a step back,
After each blow
Then regain myself

I don't need a gun
I don't need you
I don't want it either

Keep targeting me
Knocking me down
I am saving it all up

To come running, 
Attacking you all
Shattering this world

Once I am free
Life will be different
Wait and see

Always had a dream to be different
To stand out
To be important, this is me
