I've never been the one to throw in the towel
I'm not giving up
Or tapping out
The damage has been done
I always feel like
I'm on the run
Pinned against the ropes
Time and time again
I'm losing myself
Losing the trust
From within
Never tell the truth
Always lie to myself
Follow the note
To the end
You keep telling yourself
This is all you ever wanted
Weighing in
I'll pick myself up tonight
A prized fighter
But I can't stand the sight
Of myself
Do I need help
Will I make it out of this alive
I've ducked the hits
Time sequence
Jabbing at a past pretense
At all the little things
Pick my flaws
So I won't win
Handicapped
With my hands tied behind my back
Pinned against the ropes
Time and time again
I'm losing myself
Losing the trust
From within
Never tell the truth
Always lie to myself
Follow the note
To the end
Bring the knife
Cut the noose
So I won't hang myself
Out to dry
Another outline
On the pavement
As the time slips by
I am trapped inside this head
The fighting seems to never end
This game we play is vile and cruel
My thoughts say I should be dead
I'll leave it behind when it's time to die
Till then I'll just erase the pain and finally be fine
I'll pick myself up tonight
A prized fighter
But I can't stand the sight
Of myself, of myself
Do I need help
Will I make it out of this alive?
I'll pick myself up tonight
A prized fighter
But I can't stand the sight
Of myself, of myself
