I'm not perfect
I won't deny that
But I'll never back down from a fight
not even a tiny spat
I've made mistakes
lots, and I'm aware
I can no longer sleep at night
I'm overflowing with fear
I have some trust issues
because of what the past has done to me
I'm broken, just an incomplete kid
Struggling to decide on who to be
And in the darkness I loom
Because the light hurts so much more
When I look for comfort
I'm always just shown the score
For sleep evades me
and misery my best friend
But death keeps his distance
torturing me till the end
Reality is a realm
in which nothing is real
Tempts you with happiness
then takes it before you feel
Belonging is a myth
a memory that seems so far away
I can't help but think
that perhaps I was dreaming that day
For when you live in hell
it is rather hard not to burn
To turn psychotic
and give the others a turn
But let temptation rest
and lay my weapon down
I'll accept your torment
yet you still question my frown
But dreams I may hold
as distant as they seem
For individual accomplishments
the leader of my own team
For this world may push me down
don't think I won't try
I may not have wings
but that doesn't mean I can't fly
