My chest is tight My breath is shallow In the grip of fear I start to fall apart Every heartbeat pounds like a machine gun I'm drowning in tears Your judgmental eyes They pierce my soul Your whispers of disdain They take their toll You think you know me But you're so blind Your distance, it leaves me alone I won't bow down To your shallow ways Voices in my head They never cease Whispers of failure, they never release I'm haunted by devil I can't survive I'm blowing my mind This is my life This is my strife But I'll keep fighting I won't give in I'll rise from the ashes I'll conquer the night
