Sound the alarm
I'm getting out
I've decided to break free
My mind is fine
I'm not too weak
It hasn't killed me yet
I've come too far
To back up now
Shut the prison door and don't let me back in
The monster lives
Beneath my skin
It's part of me, but I can handle it
There's a world out there
That I have never seen
All because I'm in my own way
God, give me strength to push on my own
God, give me strength to fight against the dark
God, give me strength to conquer all my guilt
God, please, all I need is strength
Complexity
Difficulty
They both increase as I try to leave
I see the door
It's bolted shut
Looks like I'll have to fight
And as I turn to face the monster that I once knew
Like an animal that I once called my own
It snarls and rears its ugly head toward me
I underestimated how difficult this could be
God, give me strength to push on my own
God, give me strength to fight against the dark
God, give me strength to conquer all my guilt
God, please, all I need is strength
Man verses self, you can't get any better than this
This is one for the ages, one you don't want to miss
Wanna know how I got these lovely scars?
Well sit right down, don't know how lucky you are
My mind is a playground enshrouded in doubt
My tongue is a weapon that I'm still figuring out
There's nothing I'd like more than to tell you I'm fine
But I know I'll be fighting this war my whole life
God, give me strength to push on my own
God, give me strength to fight against the dark
God, give me strength to conquer all my guilt
God, please, all I need is strength
