Somewhere along the line we lost ourselves to our own minds Prisoners held hostage by our fears Irrationalities we let control our lives With every waking moment Every final breath that's taken Another piece of ourselves is wiped away Eroded by our long since cried tears Deep within our hearts Don't you hear the sounds of battle? Don't you feel this beast in your bones? Its clawing and kicking Tearing its way out Boiling beneath my skin Just dying to escape

Somewhere along the line we lost ourselves to our own minds Prisoners held hostage by our fears Irrationalities we let control our lives With every waking moment Every final breath that's taken Another piece of ourselves is wiped away Eroded by our long since cried tears Deep within our hearts Don't you hear the sounds of battle? Don't you feel this beast in your bones? Its clawing and kicking Tearing its way out Boiling beneath my skin Just dying to escape
