There's a constant battle in my heart,good versus bad the devil versus god.

Don't stop,don't think close your eyes and count to ten now and then,why and when.
All these answers I need to know
All the places I need to go.

Suddenly its all clear can't stay here am suffocating, I need to run i need to
disappear.
I fell Something holding me back,a shadow long and black.

It holds me like the roots holds a tree,it haunts me until my past is all I see.
It pulls me back, my misery starts to stack.
Am broken and alone,am barely holding on am on my own.
I've lost my courage and pride, I started fighting for the other side.

He wispers in my ears breaks me down into tears,In the blink of an eye years have gone by.

Each year I lost a little part of me, I close my eyes and count to three,
One, two, three run till you can't see.
Run as fast as you can don't stop for any man, Hurry grab the key keep running your almost free.

I've been playing by the rules for so long;am so tired but am trying to stay strong.

How do you fight something that can't be fought,A system that's so flowed?

It picks who lives and who dies,It fills your mind with nothing but lies.

A system built to keep you down it ,slowly spreads to break you down.

A system that will try to work you to death,and when your close it will take your last breath.

A system filled with violence and greed,it will never die cause it spreads it's seed.

It watches every move you make, your world will radile and shake.

It tells you to Fill your head,you will keep quiet or your dead.

It weeds out the the strong from the weak,ones that follow the others lead.

How do you fight something that can't be fought?
You better run or you'll get caught.

Am gone in every way,my minds lost and gone away.
I try to find a reason to fight,life isn't always black and white.

Feel as if am playing a lossing game,nothing changes everything's the same.

What's the point in all this pain when there's nothing left to gain.

What's s the point in all the rules when the world is so cruel.  

Something's got me confused
This lifes left me hurt and bruised.

What is it am trying to achieve
In what am I supposed to believe.

Am angry and frustrated at all the time I wasted.

How am I supposed to fight when I can't even find the light.

What's the point of praying
When I can't hear what your saying.

Am gone in every way, I've got nothing left to say.

It was a cloudy summer day,sitting alone all day.
Memories  come flooding back, the walls I built slowly start to crack.

All my pain, fear and doubt start to drip out.

What happened? I hear a whisper.
What happened to your dreams?
drowning silently in your screams.

What happened to your spirit to your curiosity, you always wanted to leave this city.

What happend to all the things you were going to be.
what happened to all the places you were going to see.

You Promised me you were going to change, pick yourself up and break out of this cage.

You Promised to love again,cause the pain of loss would keep you sane.

But all I see is a Tired soul, desperately trying to climb out of this hole.

Who's trying to keep from breaking down, she wears nothing but a frown.

Someone whose running out of hope,trying but failing to cope.

What am I going to do I beg how do I make it out, how do I become what I thought.

its too late the voice whispers back,your heart is heavy and cold.
Life has passed you by,You look so old.

There is no light at the end of this tunnel your just alone,there's no one to save you you're on your own.

Take this from my heart,take it all away am moving on am leaving today.

Gray sky one little lie.
Can we just call it a tie.
Confused scared out of my head,the seasons change standing on the edg.

I just don't know what to do,you say you love me well I love you too.

Your love is poison but I can't let go,even knowing all that I know.

one look from you and I'm yours, what's got a hold of me is there a cure.

won't you help me get out of his skin?
won't you help me right this sin?

Every day every night, thoughts of you fill my mind.

tick tock the time goes, am waiting standing on my toes .

Given you everything i got, and nothing is what you brought.

I think that we agree, its time for you to set me free.

How long
How far
How many places will you run

Your lost
Your afraid
You got to lay in the bed you made

woke up today  same old sadness weighing heavy on my heart
thought that be the hardest part

Made myself a promise to be better
Didn't want to forget so wrote it down In a letter

Told myself you'll do great you know it's never too late

How long
How far
How many days since you've seen the sun

Can't run no more so am  laying here down on the floor
The days there going by I keep telling the same old lie

I pray my sorrow to carry me away turn to look the sky turns gray

Am lost
Am afraid
Now I've got to lay in the bed I made

I'm my worst enemy

Day by day life has brought me down on my knees

Bumpy roads and rooms full of tears can't bring myself to look in these mirrors

It's too late for me
it's too late for me
I got nobody Lord won't you help me

Living in fear day by day so many things left to say
Each day I wake in a cloud of Haze wondering around my life a maze

It's too late for me
too late for me
I got nobody the Lord turned his back on me

Where did I go so wrong keep crying to the same old song
They tell me wishing is for the weak but love and happiness is all I seek

Lies of Hope swim in my head somebody make up my dying bed
