To The Core

Night it comes upon us
Some feel fear but some invite it in
The bitter taste of sin
Some for shelter seek
Others take it on, embrace the pain
Or go insane
The choice is only yours to make

Trapped under a wall
And if they tear it down
I won't be guarded anymore
I'm battered to the core
Under this wall
But all the weight I feel
It makes it real I can't restore
I'm broken to the core

There's a man he walks
Full of life he waits for luck to come
Luck's not for everyone
She drowns in all her shame
A victim of the choices that she's made
The price she's paid
We walk on mile stones that we've laid

Trapped under a wall
And if they tear it down
I won't be guarded anymore
I'm battered to the core
Under this wall
But all the weight I feel
It makes it real I can't restore
I'm broken to the core

What am I if I'm not born to die?
What are you if you don't try?
We're the paths and the crosswords that we take
The choice is only yours to make
